The city of Pearl issued the following statement.
The City of Pearl is excited to announce a 4th of July fireworks show at Trustmark Park. The event is presented by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi in partnership with the city and the Mississippi Braves.
“We are so thankful to Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi for their support in helping us continue the tradition of fireworks and fun on the 4th of July at Trustmark Park,” said Mayor Jake Windham. “Having the stadium and a large surrounding area will allow us to provide a safe, socially distanced event for families to enjoy. This is a great example of the strong partnership we enjoy between our city and the Braves.”
There are two ways to view the fireworks, either in the stadium or drive-in style in the parking lot. The stadium gates will open at 6:30 p.m. to the first 2,000 people. You can bring a lawn chair or blanket and sit in the outfield grass or in the stadium chair-back seats. There will be games and concessions available, as well as entertainment on the big screen. Social distancing will be regulated.
For those that wish to watch drive-in style from their vehicles, we invite you to tailgate in the parking lots to get a spot early. Social distancing will be regulated. The city’s radio station, 104.5 FM “The Pirate” will simulcast the music set to the fireworks so the drive-in viewers can have a great experience.
The Fireworks Show will begin at 9:30 p.m.

Damn, I thought some drama was going down... Nope just real fireworks.
At least Pearl gets it. The Reservoir and Clinton have lost their minds for canceling an OUTDOOR fireworks show. Good grief.....
Don’t sign the waiver.
GOOD FOR PEARL!!
Perfect time for a protest. The pigs tried to stop us at the Outlet Mall with trespassing charges.
Move all state offices from Jackson to Pearl.
Rednecks gonna redneck.
Fireworks + COVID19 + Diabetes + Obesity
What? All three of you who showed up?
Heard this AM that Ridgeland cancelled their 4th program. The word is that Canton will follow suit and also good chance that the October Canton Flea Market is gone. Damn Fauci Virus.
11;28, just because the constitution allows for peaceful protest, doesn't mean you can do it on private property. At that point, you are in fact...trespassing.
@11:28 thinks they can do what they want on other people's private property...
But I'll bet he/she/it/whatitthinksitis won't let people do whatever on its property
11:28, don't know who you consider to be "pigs" but whoever it was, if they kept you off private property (which the Outlets happens to be) where you were not an invited guest, then I'm awfully proud of them.
To think you are entitled to use the business property for your personal preferences and desires speaks millions. If you want to find a nice paved area to gather, build your own damn parking lot.
Thanks to the "pigs" for doing their job.
@12:53. Guarantee that they would very quickly press charges on someone coming onto their property as you say. Do these complaints almost daily.
To be fair, the pearl outlet malls should be made available to any taxpayer who wants to use it considering who paid for that place. Same goes for trustmark park.
Going to see a lot of old state flags flying. Driving around Pearl and Brandon and old state flags are everywhere.
Rain and fireworks don't mix, so this will likely be a quite night in the civilized areas. The noise from gunshots won't miss a beat.
Who is it you think owns the Braves stadium?
Rain Rain go away.
Come again some other day.
Wait, it’s trespassing if you don’t like how I look at an event where the public is invited? I don’t care if it is private property.
I wouldn't be surprised if one reason that the fireworks are being cancelled is to save some money in the city budget.
