Change of scenery encouraged for Pepsi Fireworks in Johnson City

Organizers with the Pepsi Independence Day Fireworks event are urging annual attendees to possibly change their vantage point from years past.

Their statement said the pyrotechnics will be launched at lower levels this year and some traditional viewing points will be out of range.

Free shuttle service is being provided with units picking up and delivering fans to Freedom Hall from Target off North Roan beginning at 5 p.m. and taking the same route for return until 11:30 that night.

A laser light show is also part of this year’s event.
