The city has historically put on an annual fireworks display- but there were some concerns this year it wouldn’t happen, or it would be a smaller show than usual. But, in June, several companies donated money towards the display.
The city says they received over $15,000 in donations and will use it to put on a show similar in size to past years.
The Big Butler Fair will also set off fireworks at dusk tonight.
Shively Fireworks of Karns City will put on the show from the fairgrounds off Route 422 beginning at dusk.

This is the 164th year for the fair, which continues through Saturday.
