Attention hard-core Red, White & Boomers: This is your chance to get so close to the fireworks launch site that you could almost roast marshmallows on the fuses.
For $20 a day, you can purchase one of 725 parking spaces on a first-come, first-served basis at the Veterans Memorial parking lot, where organizers will launch the show.
Other changes come with this year’s reconfiguration of the annual Independence Day celebration, which organizers estimate will draw 450,000 spectators. While the launch site moves northwest from the previous spot, on the east side of COSI Columbus, so do some sightlines for the pyrotechnic show.
