MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota is flooded and waterlogged right now... but that isn't stopping some cities from planning spectacular fireworks displays.
Here's a look at some of the fireworks displays that are on — and which ones are off due to flooding.
Fireworks in the metro
Minneapolis — The city's signature "Red, White and Boom" celebration is a go for the first time in five years. The event will take place July 4 starting 6 p.m. with fireworks at 10 p.m.
St. Paul — If you're in the mood for fireworks and a ballgame, then head over to St. Paul for a Saints game! Every Friday there are fireworks after the game, so July 5 will be the game to attend.
Apple Valley — Come early for the party, stay late for the fireworks! Apple Valley Freedom Days will occur July 4 with live music, food and festivities starting at 6 p.m. and fireworks at 10 p.m.
Eagan — The city will have multiple days of festivities going July 2-4. For Independence Day, the events and fireworks will be hosted at 1501 Central Parkway. Festival goers can look forward to a parade, carnival, live music and games.
Roseville — Bring the whole family for this event: there will be inflatables, face painting, a balloon artist and a petting zoo. Fireworks are at 10 p.m. Check their website for updates on July 4, as inclement weather might alter plans.
White Bear Lake — If you're looking to cool off before you watch the fireworks, find a friend with a boat and head to White Bear Lake. The city will host a boat parade starting at Mahtomedi Beach at noon, followed by music at 8 p.m. and fireworks at 10 p.m.
Woodbury — This July 4 event will have fun for the whole family with live music, bounce houses and food trucks at M Health Fairview Sports Center. Fireworks will take place at 10 p.m.
Canceled
Valleyfair — The amusement park will be open July 4, but the traditional fireworks will not make an appearance. Three rides and the parking lot are closed due to flooding, though the remainder of the park is still open.
Stillwater — The city postponed its Fourth of July fireworks display and festivities due to flooding in Lowell Park, according to the city website. City officials have not released an updated date as of Friday.
KARE 11 will update this list if additional venues cancel fireworks displays.
