The annual Independence Day Concert and Fireworks at Frost Amphitheater has been cancelled this year.
"We eliminated the fireworks from last year's July third concert, which was a necessary step given fire-safety issues. Unfortunately, both the overall flavor of the event and our ticket sales suffered, and since the same construction-related fire restrictions will be in place this July, we have decided to table the performance this year in lieu of presenting an event that is missing an essential component," Lively Arts Executive Director Jenny Bilfield said in a press release.
No alternate campus Independence Day events are planned.
