Happy 4th of July Obetz! 🇺🇸

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Famous Fortress Fireworks last night! We hope you all had a fantastic time! Mayor Kirk, Council, and the Obetz staff had a blast seeing the community come together and celebrate Independence Day!

Share some of your favorite pictures from the event with us in the comments!

🎆 We're excited to remind the community about our Famous Fortress Fireworks show tomorrow night! The spectacular display will begin at 9:50 PM. 🎆

A few reminders as we expect many fireworks to be set off in our area and the surrounding areas throughout the rest of the week and weekend:

Pet Owners:
This week is one of the peak times when pets escape due to fear from fireworks. Please check your gates, leads, or any restraints you use when your pet goes outside. If your pet is anxious during fireworks, reach out to your vet to see if there's anything that can help keep them calm during the fireworks display.

Firework Safety Reminders:
In addition to our fireworks at the Fortress, Ohio legislation allows residents to light fireworks on July 3, 4, and 5, as well as the Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays immediately before and after Independence Day. Fireworks are only allowed to be set off between 4 PM and 11 PM on the listed dates. If you are setting fireworks off outside of these times and dates, you will be fined.

Let's ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration for everyone! 🇺🇸✨
