SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The City of South Hutchinson has released information about parking and viewing areas for the fireworks show on July 2.

Parking is permitted in the yellow areas as well as the nearby side streets so long as they are not marked as a "no parking" zone. Viewing areas are the green shaded or green outline areas. Though not marked, this includes the perimeter area around the ball fields.

No parking is allowed in the red highlighted areas. Avenue C and D will be closed to vehicle traffic. Note that Washington (black highlight) will be one way traffic north from Avenue D to Blanchard. Vehicles will be allowed to park on both sides of the road except where marked.

Please do not park in the field south of Avenue D (red highlight) as it has a soybean crop and violators will be cited. Spectators are allowed to view the fireworks from the west along the asphalt road servicing the old grain elevator. Please note that American Packaging owns the land east of the road and to please be respectful.

No vehicles will be permitted to enter the park complex at Washington and Avenue C except for emergency vehicles and food truck vendors.

Free hot dogs, chips, and drinks will be available  thanks to ONEOK.

The Los Mariachis Food Truck and Salt City Chiller Shaved Ice Truck will also be there.

The Hutchinson Home Plate Club also is planning a cornhole tournament in the afternoon and baseball and softball games. There will also be mud volleyball courts to play on.
