The annual Fourth of July fireworks show at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in Petaluma won’t happen this year. The city’s Parks and Recreation Department cancelled the show, blaming the drought and climate concerns, and issues with the fireworks operator. Officials say there have been issues with the supply chain, and with the operator fulfilling contractual obligations for the past several weeks and months. The Petaluma Parks and Recreation Department says it’s exploring alternative ways to celebrate the Fourth of July. Petaluma has banned all fireworks since June of 2020.
