A fireworks show was in the works for this weekend to celebrate our nation’s birthday in the Rough Hollow area as a way to socially distance in light of canceling the parade and Pageantry of Flags ceremony. Due to the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations the past few weeks, Travis County Judge Sam Biscoe sent a letter to mayors in the area recommending local leaders cancel publicly sponsored events and close public spaces in advance of the 4th of July weekend in order to discourage social gatherings and therefore discourage spread of COVID-19. Therefore, out of precaution to protect our residents and community, the fireworks show has been canceled this weekend.
