Drivers will be charged $5 to park their vehicles at Mesquite High School for this Saturday’s Fourth of July holiday fireworks display.
Assistant town manager Tami Ryall said that once the school’s 900-space lot is filled, McQueen Road will be closed in front of the school until the event is over and the lot is emptied.
Gates will open 4 p.m. for the event at the school, which is at 500 S. McQueen Road (just north of Warner Road), with the fireworks expected around 9 p.m. Vendors and other entertainment will be set up on the school’s grounds during the afternoon and evening.
the Gilbert Promotional Corporation, which puts on the event every year, is expecting record crowds for this year’s fireworks display. Economic conditions have forced Mesa’s Sertoma Club to cancel its annual show at Mesa Community College.
