The annual Portsmouth Civic Forum’s Fourth of July fireworks display in downtown Portsmouth will be Wednesday, July 4, beginning at 10 p.m. on the Ohio River near Grant Bridge.

If it rains, the show will be postponed to July 5 at 10 p.m.

The Civic Forum has been hosting the Portsmouth fireworks for more than 75 years. More than 18,000 people are expected to line the shores of the riverfront, and even more will watch from nearby buildings and from Kentucky.

Gene Arms, of the Civic Forum, said the band Geneva will be performing at the amphitheater at 7 p.m., and concession stands and vendors will also set up along the riverfront.

Ryan Scott Ottney can be reached at 740-353-3101, ext. 235, or rottney@heartlandpublications.com.

Now He's the Guru Developer for all of SE Ohio? He's just the reporter to the reporters once removed just cause he got an audience with the Governor, once or twice? We all could have reported on the Web page up-date. Ain't he the one who served the sitting president in his establishment the only reason he gets these sound bites. Tell that $2 million for improving you property goodby Mr. Albrecht, just like the City's $2 million on the Marting's building. Just be blessed with those Tax Abatement's you have that the home owners are subsidizing you with like the rest of the business community. Wasn't he run out of Athens a real progressive happenin' town? Look at Athens' Master Plan on the net and you can get a CD, Mr Albrecht. Don't just be a reporter developer like the rest of them. What's that song title, "Rise up O' Men of God?"
