Title

Presentation and invitation to enjoy Pfireworks at The Pfield to celebrate Independence Day in the City of Pflugerville.

 

Summary

The City of Pflugerville has hosted the Pfirecracker Pfestival at Lake Pflugerville for the last nine years. With three roadways adjacent to the park under construction this year, the city determined safety and logistical demands are best accommodated at a new location, The Pfield, the new district-wide stadium located on Pecan Street across from Pflugerville High School. The event will be the first citywide festival held at the stadium.

 

We are excited to have the opportunity to use the Pfield on the 4th of July.  The Pfield is the optimum location with its seating for thousands and centralized location. Please join Mayor Victor Gonzales and the City of Pflugerville for fireworks at The Pfield.

 

With a launch site just outside the stadium, guests can sit in the stands and watch the show. In addition, the event will include food trucks, a stage with live music, a Mayor’s welcome and patriotic music leading up to the fireworks display at dark.

 

Despite roadway construction on Weiss Lane, Lake Pflugerville and the beach will remain open to the public on Independence Day weekend. However, fireworks-seeking crowds are encouraged to visit The Pfield for 2017. Please review the information on the Pfirecracker Page on the city website for details on the clear bag policy, parking and schedule www.pflugervilletx.gov.
