WHERE TO WATCH: The majority of the viewing areas will be in the soccer fields close to Dorothy Lane, the large field next to the pond and outside of the snow fence at the top of the hill near Veterans Plaza. We recommend watching from inside the park so that you can hear the soundtrack that goes along with the show. However, we do know that people also watch from the parking lots of nearby businesses.
WHERE TO PARK: Parking within Delco Park is reserved exclusively for accessible parking and is available until 8:45 p.m. or until full. We encourage visitors to park at the Tenneco building on Woodman Drive, just north of Delco Park, and walk over. Additional parking is often found in nearby areas, with many visitors choosing to walk to the park from surrounding streets.
WEATHER UPDATES: The Go 4th! event will be held rain or shine. However, if officials decide the weather is unsafe at 10 p.m. for fireworks, they will be canceled. This decision will not be made until close to the 10 p.m. start time. Please check the playkettering.org homepage and our Facebook Page for updates.

No Personal Drones
Go 4th is a no drone zone! Due to safety concerns, personal drones are prohibited from the entire event. You are welcome to bring handheld cameras and phones to capture the magic.
