As you plan your Independence Day festivities in New Albany, please be aware of ongoing construction at Church of the Resurrection, a traditionally popular fireworks viewing location. The church is currently undergoing a $20 million improvement project, which includes new buildings and site upgrades. As a result, several areas of the church property will be unavailable for parking or fireworks viewing on July 4. See map below. The areas in yellow will not be available for parking or viewing the fireworks.

Here’s what to know:

• The Independence Day Parade will still conclude at Church of the Resurrection, as in previous years.
• A large portion of the church parking lot and the south lawn will be fenced off and inaccessible due to construction and safety concerns.
• The south field, which has been a traditional spot for fireworks viewing and picnicking, will be closed and fenced off due to large dirt piles and ongoing work.
• Please use caution if parking along Morgan Road, which is narrow and frequently used for overflow parking. New Albany Police will be monitoring the area to ensure public safety.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as Church of the Resurrection enhances its facilities to better serve the community. Please plan ahead and explore other viewing areas around Rose Run Park, the school campus, and surrounding green spaces for a safe and enjoyable fireworks experience.
