Northfield, MN (June 15, 2020)
Due to COVID-19 and large gathering restrictions currently in effect by executive order of Governor Walz, the Northfield City Council voted to cancel the Fourth of July fireworks for 2020.
“It was a sad decision and we know people will be disappointed,” said Ben Martig, city administrator, “but the Minnesota Department of Health has indicated that large outdoor gatherings of more than 250 people still pose significant risk to spread COVID-19.”
