The evening wrapped up with the Salina Municipal Band performing a selection of patriotic favorites. The celebration then shifted to Saturday at the Berkley Family Recreation Area for the Salina SkyFire fireworks spectacular, a free event supported by JRI Hospitality and the City of Salina along with other local partners.
Free parking is available in Berkley Family Recreation Area parking lots south of the fireworks launch area, with gates opening at 7:00. Fireworks are scheduled to begin at 10:00 and will run for about 20 minutes, choreographed to a patriotic music montage. The live broadcast will include a segment from KSAL News Director Todd Pittenger, and the show is set to start with a greeting from Salina Mayor Mike Hoppock.
