“The city is exploring other options to celebrate our nation’s independence and bring the community together in 2023,” the release said. “We wish everyone a safe Fourth of July holiday weekend.”
West Metro Fire Rescue, which serves the city, recommended the cancellation this year because of “increased fire risk and drought conditions.”
All fireworks are illegal in Lakewood, including sparklers, Roman candles and smoke bombs, according to the city. Fines can reach up to $2,650.
