Fourth of July Fireworks

In conjunction with the Lexington Fireworks Display, UK Parking and Transportation Services will be hosting the annual fireworks viewing on the top deck of Parking Structure #5 (located next to Kennedy Book Store).

Any member of the University community possessing a valid UK parking permit is welcome to park in the structure free of charge and enjoy the fireworks.

The South Limestone gates to the parking garage will open at 8 p.m. on July 4, and will close at the beginning of the fireworks display. The gates on the Upper Street side of the structure will not be open for the event. The top deck lights will be turned off during the display to enhance viewing.

Patrons are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs, and food and drink are permitted. However, alcoholic beverages, grills, open fires, and ALL fireworks - including sparklers - are prohibited. No animals are allowed, with the exception of service animals. The UK Police Department will have officers on hand to enforce these restrictions for the everyone's safety. Portable restroom facilities and trash receptacles will be provided.

Take advantage of this family-friendly atmosphere and avoid the crowds while still enjoying the fireworks!
