Downtown West Monroe

Planned on July 1

JULY CELEBRATION ACTIVITIES IN THE DOWNTOWN

West Monroe area will include a firework display over the Ouachita River, food trucks, live music, and merchant sidewalk sale.

Food trucks will be on-site in Alley Park all day from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Various merchants will participate in a Downtown July Celebration Sale with in-store specials and sidewalk sales throughout the day.

Evening activities include a performance by the Josh Love Band in Alley Park from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The free concert will lead up to the fireworks show. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs as seating will be limited.

A fireworks show will take place over the Ouachita River at 9:00 p.m. The fireworks are shot from the Endom Bridge over the Ouachita River and can best be viewed from downtown Monroe, downtown West Monroe, or the West Monroe levee. In preparation for the fireworks, members of the public are asked to properly secure pets and notify individuals who may be sensitive to loud noises.

The fireworks are presented by Downtown West Monroe Revitalization Group and are sponsored by the Cities of Monroe and West Monroe, Discover Monroe-West Monroe, Vanguard Realty, Bermea Productions, and State Representative Michael Echols.

City of West Monroe’s Main Street Director Adrienne LaFrance-Wells hopes the activities will encourage people to gather downtown for the celebration.

“The Downtown West Monroe Revitalization Group is once again thrilled to present a July firework display for the Twin Cities. This show has become a tradition for families and people of all ages to celebrate our nation’s independence. The fireworks have a positive economic impact on our community. We anticipate downtown will be bustling with shoppers and people enjoying the summer festivities.”
