From the Town of Kenansville:
🚨 Attention 🚨
The Town of Kenansville has been made aware of a post going around on social media that advertised fireworks out at Kenan Park tonight.
That information is false. There has not been any celebratory events scheduled for tonight. There will not be any fireworks out at Kenan Park.
Even though there are not any fireworks in Kenansville, there will be some scattered around the county and surrounding counties for you and your families to enjoy!
We hope you all stay cool, are being safe, and having fun on this Fourth of July weekend!
