May 5, 2023 | Ref: DABA/Lincoln County Fireworks

It is with great sadness that we must inform you that the 23rd Annual Lincoln County DABA Fireworks will not take place this year. The DABA board was notified by the school system that they had received a large grant sum from the state to turf all high school fields. A decision has been made by the Lincoln County school board to no longer hold this event on the football field of East Lincoln High School or any other county field due to possible damage to the new turf that is to be installed in a few months.

This event which has served the citizens in the community for 22 years straight to celebrate our Nation’s freedoms, independence and to show case the many businesses in our area, simply has no place to continue. The many county employees, sponsors, businesses and volunteers that have made this event great for the community and the DABA board, expresses appreciation to everyone’s support over the years.

We want to take this opportunity to give so many thanks to all the first responders, vendors, stage sponsors, and all the many companies that have provided food, services etc. to make this free event possible. Unfortunately, at this time we have exhausted all other options to host this size of an event.

Sincerely,
The DABA Board
