Independence Day celebrations are kicking off early this year with the return of Southwest Missouri's largest Fourth of July event, Fireworks at the Field, on Saturday June 28. The party, which drew over 15,000 people in 2013, will be hosted at Hammons Field in conjunction with the day's baseball game between the Springfield Cardinals and the Antonio Missions, and feature numerous activities for ticketholders to participate in. From ice skating to inflatables, the event will offer a whirlwind of excitement for families and the evening's fireworks display will be double the amount of the last year's, making it one for the books!
