Parking and seating will be limited down the bay hill but residents and visitors are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs and enjoy a wonderful day and evening on Mobile Bay. The north end of Fairhope Municipal Park will be open throughout the day and will remain open until no parking is available. The south end of the beach front park and Knoll Park will be available to spectators. Handicap parking will be available near the fountain but will be limited. Please who wish to park in the handicap area should arrive early and plan to stay until the fireworks are over.
