(La Porte County, IN) - The Fourth of July fireworks will be returning to the La Porte County fairgrounds this year where previously, in 2022, the show was held at Clear Lake.

La Porte County Councilman Randy Novak noted officials with the city and the Fair Management and Events Corporation partnered in the decision.

“It’s a joint venture,” he said.

No reason was given for moving the July 4th fireworks back to the fairgrounds.

The fireworks show was held annually at the fairgrounds for a long time until being moved to Clear Lake in La Porte last year, in response to the La Porte Jaycees disbanding last year and deciding not to host the fireworks show after decades of sponsoring the event.

The city stepped in and hosted the fireworks show at Clear Lake.
