Rockford, IL \u2014 June 26, 2024 \u2014 The Rockford Rivets proudly announce a new partnership with Collins Aerospace to host a dazzling fireworks display this Independence Day, July 4th. This event promises to be a standout celebration, paying tribute to our nation\u2019s veterans in a memorable and patriotic manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to partner with Collins Aerospace to bring our world-class fireworks show to Loves Park on July 4th,” said General Manager Steve Malliet. “At the Rockford Rivets, we have a deep appreciation for our veterans, and what better way to honor them than with a spectacular fireworks show on Independence Day.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the breathtaking pyrotechnics, 13 WREX is offering an exclusive deal. For just $13, attendees can enjoy a ticket to the game, a hot dog, and a soda, courtesy of Channel 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We invite everyone to join us in celebrating our troops and enjoying a fantastic night of entertainment,” Malliet added.<\/span><\/p>\n
