What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

Are you obsessed with setting off fireworks on the Fourth of July? In that case, you’re following the tradition of our founding fathers, who were quick to adopt fireworks as a show of patriotic pride. American culture celebrates Independence Day with fireworks because the USA earned its independence by fighting the Revolutionary War. These colorful, deafening blasts symbolize the bombs, bullets and explosions that occurred during that war. Embrace this noisy salute to the unifying force for our diverse population at the Pahrump Fireworks Safety Site as early as this Sunday, and through Friday, July 4th. The town of Pahrump has scheduled six upcoming evenings when individuals can ignite fireworks at the only authorized site in town, which will be open from 7 p.m. until well into the night Sunday, June 29 through Friday, July 4. The site is located at 3770 Fox Ave. at the corner of Fox Avenue and Gamebird Road. Fireworks passes are required for entrance and can be purchased at any fireworks store within Nye County for a $5 fee. Consult https://pahrumpnv.gov/283/Fireworks-Safety-Site for specific details, and cessation times each evening.
