The city of St. Joseph is preparing for its annual Fourth of July fireworks show, although this year’s spectacle will not actually be on the Fourth of July. The event is slated for Wednesday, July 3. This year’s show is made possible in part thanks to its sponsors. The city tells us the fundraising for the show has surpassed its goal by nearly 40%. The city thanks everyone who chipped in. Meanwhile, officials want everyone to get the word out that the show this year is on the third and not the fourth. At last week’s Berrien County Board of Commissioners meeting, it was noted the change in date could confuse some out of towners who reserved hotel rooms for themselves on the night of July 4. Once again, that fireworks show will be along the Lake Michigan waterfront on Wednesday, July 3 at dusk.
