On July 4, the fireworks over downtown Minneapolis will be choreographed to a mix of Prince music provided by The Current.
Starting at 10:00 p.m. on July 4, you can tune in to The Current on air (89.3 FM in the Twin Cities) or via our website or the MPR Radio app for the perfect mix of Prince music to accompany the fireworks — a mix curated by The Current's production manager Derrick Stevens.
The fireworks display will be part of Minneapolis's annual Red, White and Boom! celebration. The daylong celebration will include a half-marathon, relay, and 5K; free family activities; and several live music performances including an 8:30 performance by the Minnesota Orchestra on Boom Island.
