“Raine or Shine! Fireworks at 10 p.m.,” the City of Huber Heights wrote on its Facebook page.
Cloud Park will be full of vendors, rides and dozens of food trucks like Augstina Deleon’s.
Deleon owns a gourmet popsicle truck and said if the weather gets bad at least she can pack up and go.
“We kind of play it by ear so if it gets worse tonight, then we’re prepared to go ahead and go but the fireworks will go on tonight rain or shine,” Deleon said.
While rain or thunder may not cancel the fireworks, wind could.
Organizers said if the wind reaches up to 30 miles per hour they cannot set them off.
