Fireworks at Vulcan

A longstanding tradition in Birmingham is to light up the skies above Vulcan Park and Museum on the fourth of July. Beginning at 9 p.m. on July 4, Thunder on the Mountain 2012 will be a 20-minute fireworks extravaganza simulcast on area radio stations including WZZK 104.7 FM.

It is best to have a clear view of Vulcan, but remember Vulcan Park and Museum closes that day at 6 p.m. to prepare the “launch site” for the show.
