The coronavirus could threaten Grand Lake\u2019s Fourth of July fireworks display as town officials are expected to soon make a decision on the summertime pyrotechnics.<\/p>\n

While the town is trying to get a read on what could happen with the COVID-19 pandemic this summer, no one on the Grand Lake Board of Trustees seemed too worried about a lack of crowds over the Fourth of July when the town\u2019s annual fireworks show came up for discussion April 27.<\/p>\n

Rocky Mountain National Park reported record crowds last year. Depending on how and when things open back up across the state, town officials are fairly confident there could be a rush of vacation travel in July.<\/p>\n

While officials were sure Grand Lake will see large crowds numbering in the thousands for Independence Day, they don\u2019t know what social distancing guidelines will look like. They also believe that if Grand Lake does fireworks this year, people will likely line up blanket to blanket as they try to secure the best real estate.<\/p>\n
