REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. - After a packed Fourth of July celebration at Rehoboth Beach, visitors looked forward to the evening fireworks display. However, some people say they had a difficult time seeing the fireworks due to the high smoke content.
The City of Rehoboth released a Facebook post apologizing for the lack of visibility, especially during the finale. Rehoboth said they wanted to have a larger display to celebrate the country’s 250th birthday, which is the cause of the heavy smoke.
“The City of Rehoboth Beach is aware of the issues with last night’s fireworks show and understands the disappointment many people felt,” said the city. “We are working with Zambelli Fireworks to get clarification on what happened, including the cause of the heavy smoke and the timing of the finale.”
The City of Rehoboth says it will share more information as soon as they have it, and expresses its apologies to the public.
