Springfield’s Island Park will not host Fourth of July festivities this summer.
According to the Springfield Utility Board, major construction on nearby Mill Street makes it impractical to hold this year’s Light of Liberty celebration, which traditionally includes music, food, and an extensive kids' area.
Officials said discounted tickets are available for a July 3rd baseball game and fireworks display near Hamlin Middle school. Tickets to see the Drifters summer collegiate West Coast League game are $5.00.
