Gates open at 5 p.m., with fireworks lighting up the sky at dark. Come early and enjoy food trucks from 5–9 p.m. serving BBQ, burgers, tacos, hot dogs, desserts, drinks, and more.
Admission is just $5 per car. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, and tailgates and make an evening of it with family, friends, and community fun under the summer sky!

There have been questions both online and in person so I thought answering some of them here would be easiest.
Q: Is there an entry fee?
A: Yes, $5 per vehicle.
Q: Are cards accepted for the entry fee?
A: No, the entry will be cash only.
Q: What time are people allowed to enter the fairgrounds?
A: 5:00. The entrance off of Wayhaven will be the only entrance. There will be multiple workers taking money and directing people where to go. The 63/Wayhaven intersection will be closed and attendees will need to use Hubert Redburn Dr. or McFarland to enter
Q: Will the grandstands be open?
A: No. The fireworks will be set off in the arena and for safety reasons nobody is allowed in the grandstands.
Q: Where will people watch the firework show from?
A: This is a view from where you park event. We encourage everyone to bring a blanket, lawn chairs or truck bed to enjoy the show from. There will be space in between rows for people to view near their vehicle.
Q: Is alcohol allowed to be brought in?
A: No. Leaving the fairgrounds after the show will cause an increase in traffic and we want everyone to get home safely.
Q: What time are the food trucks open?
A: 5:00-9:00. At 8:45 the gate to get to the food trucks will be shut as the trucks shut down so they can safely watch the fireworks at dark. Those in line waiting for food or drinks will be able to remain until they receive their items.
Q: Will there be handicap parking?
A: Yes we will have a designated spot to accommodate those who need it. When you enter the parking area just let the worker know and they will direct you to the correct area.
West Plains Fire Department, Howell County Sheriffs Department, South Howell County Ambulance, Missouri State Highway Patrol and Howell County Rural Fire Department and West Plains Police Department will be in attendance to help ensure everyone stays safe.
Skyfire is meant to be an event that promotes community. Come out and enjoy the event with your friends and family and listen as the fairgrounds are filled with patriotic music and children’s laughter! This year we are starting with the basics and as the support continues more things will be added.
