Beaumont's July 4 'Pyro Spectacular,' Free Concert Series Expected to Draw Thousands

The city of Beaumont is again hosting their popular Independence Day community celebration, and thousands are expected to pack Stewart Park for the free event.

Though the fireworks portion-- scheduled to start at 9 p.m.-- is surely a sight to see, there's also a day full of events you may want to check out.

Beginning at 10 a.m., the city will celebrate Independence Day with the dedication of the new Public Safety Memorial in front of Beaumont Civic Center.

After that, at noon, the public pool located at 985 Maple, is open for just $1 admission until 8 p.m.

What's more-- the Summer Concert Series officially kicks off at 5 p.m. with the Basix performing in Stewart Park, followed by a 7:30 p.m. performance from the Little River Band.  Meanwhile, while the concerts are going on, you can also check out Market Night, located on 10th Street and Orange Avenue.

For those who don't want to deal with the local traffic, you can park your vehicle at Walmart or the Beaumont Sports Park and ride a free shuttle over to Stewart Park.
