Dogs
Due to the nature of the event, it is recommended that you leave any non-service animals at home. High temperatures and loud fireworks cause high levels of anxiety and stress from dogs.
If you decide to bring your dog, they must remain on a leash at all times, and owners are required to pick-up pet waste. Non-service animals are prohibited on the event shuttles.
The City of Celina Police Department provides on-site security and monitors the park grounds throughout the event. Please keep personal belongings with you at all times.
Should you and your child become separated during the event, a Lost Child station will be located at the Celina Police Tent Northwest of the stage. Parents can pick-up a free child ID bracelet at the Police Tent.
