We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The celebration, produced by Starfire Corporation and supported by local businesses, will not include concessions this year. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own food and drinks but are reminded that alcohol, tobacco products, and personal fireworks are prohibited in all city parks. Several park areas will be closed or restricted starting Thursday in preparation for the event.
Parking and traffic changes will begin Friday at 4 p.m., with no on-street parking permitted on Cleveland Avenue between Jefferson Street and the park entrance, on Security Road between Vista Street and Vale Street, and westbound on Security Road between Vale Street and Division Avenue. At 6 p.m., Cannon Avenue will be closed from Jefferson Street to North Mulberry Street, and westbound Jefferson Street will be closed from Cleveland Avenue to Cannon Avenue. Additional street closures will occur before and after the fireworks to manage congestion, which is expected to ease by 11 p.m.
