"Fireworks Permits Revoked, Safety Concerns Raised for 4th of July Celebrations"
TL;DR
Mecklenburg County has revoked permits for the National Whitewater Center to hold fireworks shows on July 3 and Independence Day due to safety concerns raised by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The police chief outlined issues such as traffic problems, trespassing, and inadequate safety plans in a letter to county and city managers. The fire marshal's office rescinded the July 4 permit based on these concerns. The Whitewater Center still has a permit for Monday's fireworks, but it is unclear if they will be able to obtain a new permit for Tuesday's event.
