Kearney's July 3 Independence Day Celebration and fireworks show returns to the Viaero Event Center for the 12th year in a row.

The fireworks show is being produced by Wald's All American Display Fireworks from Greenwood, Mo., and will begin about 9:30 p.m. at the Event Center.

The Kearney Area Chamber of Commerce, which hosts and organizes the fireworks show, teams with the Viaero Event Center each year in presenting the event.

Families are invited to gather and tailgate in the evening prior to the fireworks display. Food and beverages will be sold on site, but those attending also are allowed to bring their own food and beverages.

Admission to the July 3 Independence Day Celebration is free. The Chamber funds the show and uses sponsorships and donations to help offset expenses. Chamber volunteers will be at the entrance the day of the event to accept donations. The Chamber has organized the event since 1992 and moved it to the Viaero Event Center in 2001.
