WATERTOWN â City officials havenât given up on having people sitting on their blankets at Thompson Park to watch fireworks and hear an orchestra play patriotic songs at the cityâs Fourth of July concert this summer.
A few weeks ago, the Watertown Noon Rotary canceled the July 4th celebration at Thompson Park because of the uncertainty with COVID-19. The event also wasnât held last summer because of the pandemic.
But the City Council will be asked on Monday night to appropriate $40,000 from the general fund balance to provide funding for the concert and fireworks. The festivities would be held on July 1.
