Heber Springs, Ark., – The Heber Springs Area Chamber of Commerce announced today that this year’s Fireworks Extravaganza is scheduled for Tuesday, July 3 at Greers Ferry Lake.

The 2018 Fireworks Extravaganza will be held at Sandy Beach on the shores of Greers Ferry Lake. Gates open at 10 a.m. for a fun-filled day on the beach before the festivities begin.
Partygoers will arrive by boat and by car to enjoy food vendors opening by noon, and live music beginning at 7:30 p.m. with the 106th Army Band Charlie Rock.
At 9:30 p.m., one of the largest fireworks displays in Arkansas will light the skies above the lake, as thousands of breathtaking fireworks are choreographed to music broadcast on Timeless 106.1 FM, KFFB. Beautifully mirrored in the lake’s surface, the show is equally magical whether viewed by boat or on the shore, and each year’s Fireworks Extravaganza is better than the last.
