If the Albany Police Department is called regarding illegal fireworks usage, citizens could receive a courtesy warning, or a citation and the fireworks could be confiscated.

This year, community members can enjoy fireworks safely by attending the Fourth of July festivities hosted by the City of Albany and the Exchange Club at the Fairgrounds on Thursday. Gates open at 3:00 p.m. Fireworks begin at 9:15 p.m.
