The cities of Draper, South Jordan, Riverton and Herriman jointly announced on May 20 that they will be hosting a coordinated fireworks display on May 30 to "honor all individuals who have been on the front lines dealing with the effects of COVID-19."
“We are so excited to be hosting this firework show to salute all who have been on the front lines during COVID-19,” said Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs. “Due to the pandemic, one of our scheduled firework shows couldn’t go on as usual; however, after brainstorming with the fireworks company and our great city staff, we presented this idea instead. I’m thrilled that we were able to bring this firework show to fruition with our surrounding cities and sponsors. We think it’s incredibly appropriate to recognize all who have worked so hard to combat the virus and the efforts of all our residents to stop the spread.”
The fireworks display will be accompanied by "an audio soundtrack playing on several local iHeart Radio stations, including: 97.1 ZHT, My 99.5, 94.1 KODJ, Rock 106.7 and Easy 99.1," according to a press release sent out by the cities.
Residents are encouraged to maintain social distancing by watching the display from the comfort of their own homes. "The size of the fireworks will allow a substantial majority of residents of the four cities and neighboring areas to see the show from their homes and neighborhoods," said the press release.
