SUFFOLK, Va. - Fireworks are set to return to light up the skies of Suffolk this Fourth of July.

The park will open at 5:30 p.m. and will feature entertainment, children’s activities, merchandise vendors, and a variety of food choices.

There will be free craft bags with crafts for children and giveaways.

Island Boy is set to perform at 6:00 p.m. The fireworks show will begin at 9:00 p.m.

Organizers say there is no on-site parking. Shuttle parking will begin at 5:15 p.m. from the following sites:
