7/4 TERRY, HALL. SARA EVANS, STEVE EVANS, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

TERRY HALL - ST. HELENA LIGHTS UP NAPA VALLEY’S MAIN STREET WITH FIREWORKS ON JULY 4, 2104

St. Helena celebrates Independence Day with a fireworks show on Friday, July 4.  If quintessential wine country, home-town charm is what you’re looking for, join residents and visitors on Napa Valley’ Main Street, St. Helena.  Centered in the middle of town, the show will be launched just south of Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch and across Main Street from St. Helena’s Welcome Center.

With the site at Stanton Vineyard, the fireworks will be visible to revelers all over St. Helena.  Mills Lane will be closed to traffic but it won’t be difficult to find a site throughout town, such as the Welcome Center, Long Meadow Ranch, Tra Vigne, or anywhere along St. Helena Highway.  Fireworks will begin at approximately 9:30pm, and we anticipate another thrilling show!  For more information, go to www.sthelena.com/fireworks.
