UPDATE: The new date for the Festival of the Hills event is Wednesday, July 26, at the same time and place. Look forward to seeing everyone there!
Due to the concerns with air quality in southeast Michigan and air quality alerts issued by the US National Weather Service Detroit / Pontiac Michigan and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy the City of Rochester Hills has made the difficult decision to postpone the Festival of the Hills fireworks show tonight.
Meteorologists have issued air quality alerts, indicating elevated levels of fine particulate matter in the air. These heightened levels are primarily caused by smoke from fires in Canada. It is projected that the average air quality will fluctuate between "unhealthy for sensitive groups" and "unhealthy for everyone."
The health and safety of our residents remains our number one priority. In the best interest of everyone's well-being and after careful consideration with area experts and public safety officials, we have decided to postpone this evening’s fireworks show.
We understand the anticipation and excitement surrounding the fireworks show and hope to have a postponement date in the near future.
