For a spectacular fireworks show and views of the Las Vegas Valley, celebrate Independence Day at Knickerbocker Park in the Providence master planned community from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 4. Sponsored by the Providence Master Planned Community, Pyrotecnico and the Providence Master Homeowners Association, the event will feature crowd-pleaser The Tommy Rocker Band, contests and more, beginning at 6 p.m. with fireworks at 9:15 p.m. The park’s design and northwest Las Vegas site provide a great vantage point overlooking the city. It is located at 10695 Dorrell Lane.

Attendees are invited to bring picnic baskets, chairs and coolers. Food and treats will be available for purchase, including items from popular Slidin’ Thru and Snowie-Girlz. No alcohol or glass is permitted in the park.

Attendees also are encouraged to bring new and gently used books for Spread the Word Nevada. The nonprofit organization promotes literacy to make it possible for all children in Nevada to experience the magic of books. Spread the Word Nevada representatives will be selling red, white and blue glow-in-the-dark necklaces and bracelets for donations.

Contests for all ages will be held with prizes awarded to top winners. For details and to sign up, go to the Providence Master Homeowners Association table.

Pyrotecnico, one of the country’s most creative fireworks display, pyrotechnics and special effects companies, is creating the special Fourth of July show. The nearly 16-minute show will incorporate a variety of multi-color, pattern, color-changing and special effects shells and barrages to the music of traditional and contemporary patriotic songs, along with some pop music favorites. Some of the songs will include: “America, the Beautiful,” “American Girl,” “Born in the U.S.A.,” “Coming to America,” “R.O.C. K. in the USA” and “We’re an American Band.”

Locals favorite Tommy Rocker describes his show at Knickerbocker Park as “All-American Rock ‘n’ Roll and Country.” It’s designed to get the crowd involved and sing and dance. In addition to performing at the two local restaurants bearing his name, Rocker performs in venues from Maui to Key West and delights his audience with a high energy, sing-along show of favorite tunes.

Providence’s new community mascot also will be attending the festivities. P.D., as the caramel-colored “Providence Dog” is affectionately called, sports a Providence dog tag and is 7 feet tall with chocolate spots and big floppy ears.

Other Knickerbocker Park features to be enjoyed include softball, soccer and volleyball. Participation will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Additionally the park has play areas for 2 to 5-year-olds and 5 to12-year-olds, swing set, dog park with small and large dog areas, splash pad, jogging path with exercise stations, and picnic areas.

A big green balloon will mark the park site. For more information, please call the Providence Master Homeowners Association office at (702) 216-2020.
