Fireworks will light up St. Paul skies this July 4.
Why it matters: It's been a decade since the capital city had a free, public fireworks show of its own.
What to expect: The show, confirmed late last week, will serve as the finale of a free "Red, White and BOOM!" celebration at Cathedral Hill Park, featuring food trucks, a concert and remarks from public officials.
Organizers hope that launching the rockets from St. Paul's highest point will make them visible across the city.
How it happened: The Saint Paul Rotary Club says it's on track to raise the $125,000 needed to bring the fireworks back.
"The response from the community since our initial announcement has been incredibly encouraging," Carolyn Will, a St. Paul Rotary Club member and organizer of the event, said in a statement.
If you go: The fun starts at 6pm, and the fireworks should begin around 10pm.
