Truckee Town Council to discuss Fourth of July fireworks
TRUCKEE, Calif. — Truckee Town Council will be discussing Fourth of July plans during its Tuesday, March 14, evening meeting.
Truckee Donner Recreation and Park District has requested a special use permit for fireworks on Fourth of July. There has been a fireworks show at the West End of Donner Lake since 1986, with the exception of a several year hiatus in the 1990s and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, staff has raised questions regarding the appropriateness of continuing the event because of wildfire danger and increased visitation.
