Guymon to host July 4 fireworks show at Sunset Park
Sunset Park’s July 4 fireworks begin at 10 p.m., with a 9:45 p.m. pre-show and music on 92.7 FM. Texas County’s burn ban stays off, but fire crews remain on alert.
Guymon’s public fireworks display is set for 10 p.m. July 4 at Sunset Park, with a pre-show starting at 9:45 p.m. and music broadcast on KKBS Radio 92.7 FM in Guymon. The city is promoting the show as part of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, making the holiday one of the busiest nights on the local calendar.
Residents will have several public viewing options. KSCB listed Sunset Park itself, the Texas County Fairground parking area, the stretch of Sunset from NW 5th Street to NW 12th Street, and the Buffalo Road game reserve as the best places to watch. Those locations give families multiple ways to avoid crowding in one place and spread traffic across several parts of town.
The fireworks plan comes as Texas County keeps the burn ban off through the July 4 holiday period. Commissioners made that decision June 29, but Guymon Fire Chief Grant Wadley warned that dry conditions still make fireworks dangerous. The Oklahoma State Fire Marshal’s Office said in its June 3 guidance that licensed sellers may sell consumer fireworks year-round under Senate Bill 1948, and that bottle rockets are legal consumer fireworks unless a local ordinance says otherwise.
State fire officials also said local cities and towns still control their own fireworks ordinances. Their guidance says private consumer fireworks displays on private property are limited when no county burn ban is in effect and no Red Flag Fire Warning exists, and it reiterates the 500-foot setback from churches, hospitals, schools, fireworks storage or sales sites, and unharvested flammable crops.
The city is also treating the holiday as an operational event, not just a celebration. City of Guymon offices will be closed Friday, July 3, and reopen Monday, July 6. City messaging says Texas County fire departments are on increased alert and response readiness this week, a sign that public safety planning is running alongside the entertainment schedule.
The display continues a pattern of professionally staged holiday fireworks in Guymon. In 2024, Western Enterprise Inc. of Enid handled the show, which was also choreographed to music on 92.7 FM and started at 10 p.m. The setup has turned Sunset Park into more than a viewing spot: it is the center of a July 4 routine that brings traffic, crowding, and extra business to nearby parts of Guymon for one of the year’s largest holiday nights.
