Port Orange postpones July 4 event –

The Port Orange City Council voted last week to postpone its Fourth of July Spectacular event in an effort to continue keeping residents safe due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“This was a tough decision to suspend our July 4th fireworks event at City Center, said Mayor Don Burnette.

“We plan to reschedule our celebration until later this year, when it is safe to gather in large groups again as a community, and we look forward to getting together with everyone to celebrate at that time.”
