RIVERTON — Four south Salt Lake County cities will honor workers on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic with a fireworks show, on Saturday, May 30 at 10 p.m.
The show will originate from four locations — Riverton, Draper, Herriman and South Jordan — and will be synchronized with an audio soundtrack playing on several local radio stations, including 97.1 ZHT, My 99.5, 94.1 KODJ, Rock 106.7 and Easy 99.1.
“We are so excited to be hosting this firework show to salute all who have been on the front lines during COVID-19,” Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs said in a statement. “Due to the pandemic, one of our scheduled firework shows couldn’t go on as usual; however, after brainstorming with the fireworks company and our great city staff, we presented this idea instead. I’m thrilled that we were able to bring this firework show to fruition with our surrounding cities and sponsors. We think it’s incredibly appropriate to recognize all who have worked so hard to combat the virus and the efforts of all our residents to stop the spread.”
Residents from all four cities and the greater south Salt Lake County area are encouraged to view the show.
Officials say the size of the fireworks will allow a substantial majority of residents of the four cities to see the show from their homes and neighborhoods.
