MUNCIE, IN—The City of Muncie will celebrate America’s Independence Day with two spectacular fireworks performances.
The first show will be displayed at Prairie Creek Reservoir on Saturday, July 1st, at 10pm. You may listen to the 
music accompanying the reservoir fireworks on 104.1 HD1 WLBC.
Saturday is also Ron Bonham day at Prairie Creek with many special activities planned throughout the day.
The official City of Muncie show will be aired by 104.1 HD1 WLBC and 104.9 WERK FM, with accompanying music, and will take place on the grounds of Muncie Central High School by the levee. The show will kick off at 10pm on Tuesday, July 4th.
There will be a mix of patriotic favorites with today’s family friendly music during the fireworks.
Because of street and sewer work on Wheeling Ave, you’ll need to be aware of some changes around that area. Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour discusses those changes below. Click to listen.
Free Downtown Concert in Muncie before the Fireworks
The USA’s Birthday Celebration in Muncie begins downtown at Canan Commons with the annual Fourth of July concert – a free, public patriotic program from the city’s own America’s Hometown Band.
The nation’s 2022 spirit promises to be in top gear, on-stage on July 4th in a program beginning at 7:30pm – well before any of the local fireworks shows. Bring chairs or blankets for lawn seating/picnicking; free parking nearby.
The non-profit, 501c3 group known as ‘America’s Hometown Band’ is Muncie’s municipal band, founded in 1988 by Roger McConnell & Dr. Philip Cooley.
After the concert, attendees will want to venture over to the levee for the fireworks, as visibility will be better.
