On Saturday night The Hillsboro Summerfest puts on a brilliant fireworks show.
The fireworks start around 10:00PM, but arrive early if you want a great up-close seat for all the action.
We thank the Hillsboro Fire Department for their vigilant work to ensure the fireworks stay safe for all to enjoy.
