Dubuque City Council members have approved a request by Dubuque Golf & Country Club for a July 4th fireworks display, with an alternate date of September 6th. Last week, the organizers of Dubuque’s Fireworks & Air Show Spectacular announced they are postponing the July 3rd event at Dubuque’s A.Y. McDonald Park to August 22nd because of COVID-19 pandemic concern and scheduling conflicts related to canceled air shows in other parts of the Midwest. General Manager Lance Marting said the country club wanted to secure the July 4th date in the event that the health crisis subsides and it is safe for people to gather for the fireworks show.
