Marble City Mayhem and Fireworks Show is Today

Join The Mix 105.1 today as we broadcast live from the Marble City Mayhem.

Marble City Mayor Tamara Hibbard said Marble City Mayhem is held in conjunction with the annual fireworks show, which is a long-running, family-oriented community event that people of all ages will enjoy. The fireworks show is held the week before July 4 to avoid conflicting with all other fireworks shows held on July 4 or that weekend.

Marble City Mayhem, Hibbard said, “is a fun festival that will feature lots of tasty food, live music, and, of course, the amazing fireworks show. A special ceremony to honor veterans and the military will be held at 11:30 a.m.”

Car enthusiasts will also like the car show, burnout contest and speed challenge that will be held along the town’s main drag. Registration for the car show starts at 9 a.m., and registration for the Speed Challenge and Burnout Contest start at 12:30 p.m. Special custom trophies by Polycor and Sugar Loaf Quarries, t-shirts, and cash prizes will be awarded to the winners.

A magic show and balloon artist, inflatables and face painting will also be available for children. Various other games and contests will be running all day.

“So bring the whole family, and your lawn chairs, and make a fun day of it,” Hibbard said.
