Despite some setbacks from a fire this year for the sponsor, Warehouse Pool Supply, the annual July 4th Fireworks Show at Katy Mills Mall is going to be spectacular this year!

Warehouse Pool has always contributed to the fireworks show, and has taken even more interest this year because of the Katy community’s support right after the fire that destroyed some of their facilities.  Additionally, the community has rallied with grants from Liberty Mutual and additional funding from the Katy Rice Harvest Festival tickets that are going to help make this a fireworks show to remember.

The show is visible at several nearby Katy locations, including the mall parking lot, and it begins at approximately 9 p.m. as always. For more information, contact Shafer at cshafer@cityofkaty.com or call 281-391-4711.
