Fireburst Fireworks – Kimberling City

Fireworks begin around 9:00 PM
Kimberling City Bridge, Kimberling City, Missouri
One of the Ozarks’ most beloved traditions, Fireburst has been lighting up the skies above Table Rock Lake since 1984. Fireworks are launched from a bluff northeast of the Kimberling City Bridge and can be viewed from both land and water. Visitors arriving by boat should plan to be in position by 8:30 PM, while those attending by land should arrive early due to traffic restrictions and road closures. Fireburst is free to attend and remains one of the largest community-funded fireworks displays in the region.
