The event hadn't been held in over a decade over fears that the pyrotechnics might ignite the nearby forest.
The National Park Service announced on Tuesday that Mount Rushmore will hold a fireworks celebration on the 4th of July for the first time in 11 years. The event hadn't occurred in over a decade due to fire concerns. This year's celebration will only commence if social and weather conditions permit.
The celebration, however, will occur only if pandemic reopening guidelines, weather, security and wildland fire conditions deem it safe. No details have yet been released about the July 4 event. "We're excited that this will be happening at Mount Rushmore. We've been working on this for quite some time," Noem said."We appreciate all the work President Trump and his team at the Department of the Interior have done to make this celebration possible again for the country.
