For the second year in a row, Johnson City canceled its traditional Pepsi-sponsored fireworks show for Independence Day, this year because of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic during the eventâs planning phases.
There are still July 4 celebrations planned for the area, however, that should be safe if current recommended pandemic precautions are followed.
Hereâs a list of nearby events for crowds to âoohâ and âaahâ over.
