After more than a year of canceled, drive-thru and virtual events, the city of Goodyear plans to return to in-person celebrations with a literal bang.
The city’s Star Spangled Fourth at Goodyear Ballpark on Sunday, July 4, will mark the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic halted events across the country in March 2020 that Goodyear will say “welcome in” to everyone.
Goodyear modified its 2020 celebration so families could watch fireworks from their vehicles while listening to patriotic music on their radios, but had to cancel altogether after Gov. Doug Ducey issued an executive order banning gatherings of 50 or more people in an effort to stem the spread of coronavirus in the state.
