Fourth of July Fireworks Show Viewing

UK Transportation Services has in prior years opened the top floor of the Cornerstone Garage (formerly South Limestone Garage) for annual fireworks viewing on the Fourth of July. However, in the interest of promoting the health and safety of the campus community and in support of social distancing guidelines, the garage will not be available this year. While construction on the garage expansion is nearing completion, the site is still extremely active, creating additional obstacles and dangers for fireworks viewing.
