Fireworks on the Island Press Release
Media Contact: Teresa Rodriguez Senior Marketing & Communications Manager Telephone: (956) 761-8199 E-mail: [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE South Padre Island kicks off the summer season with family-friendly fireworks displays South Padre Island, Wednesday, June 16, 2021- The City of South Padre Island, is kicking off the summer season with beach and bayside fireworks displays running through Labor Day. South Padre Island, also known as “The Fireworks Capital of Texas,” an honor proclaimed by the Texas Senate, the Island’s recognition highlights the abundance of spectacular fireworks displays for visiting individuals, couples, and families to enjoy. It is time to celebrate the season with beach and bayside fireworks on South Padre Island. On Tuesday evenings, fireworks are shot from a barge anchored a few hundred yards off shore in the bay. The best viewing spot for bayside shows is the Entertainment District, including many bayside restaurants and on “The Green,” a great lawn where people can bring their own chairs to view the display. "Fireworks over the water are amazing," said Ed Caum, South Padre Island CVB Director, "you get to see the beautiful bursts in the sky and they are reflected back up from the water”. This also allows you to view them from both the shore and on a boat.” Many of the local boat captains and tour companies book specific cruises to enjoy the fireworks from out on the water. “If you have never viewed fireworks from out on the water, you need to experience it," Caum said. For beachside firework displays, the Island features shows every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

Provo City Land Use Codes LIVING AREAS 1000 This major category applies to structures on the land and corresponding area used primarily as places to live whether on a temporary (e.g. transient lodging, hotel), semi-permanent (e.g. hotel, fraternity, sorority) or permanent (e.g. home or apartment) basis. This category may also include structures on parcels and corresponding area that are used for two or more activities yet the dominant use of the structure is for living purposes. An example of dual use of a structure where living is secondary might be a convalescent home. Since medical service is the primary use of the property, convalescent home is coded under Services 6516. The Household Units section has been developed to reflect certain structure characteristics as well as activity. For example, a code category and respective number is given to represent household units in terms of arrangement with respect to each other and to non-residential structures. Diagrams of these special conditions are provided to represent the meaning of respective code categories. 1100 HOUSEHOLD UNITS 1110 Single Family Dwelling 1111 Single family dwelling, detached (with or without an attached garage, on one parcel. Includes cabins, non-commercial) 1112 Single family dwelling, attached (to one or more single family dwelling) 1113 Single family dwelling, attached (to a commercial, industrial or other nonresidential use. Dwelling unit can be under, over, in front, behind or beside non residential use in the structure.) NOTE: If a single family dwelling is on the same parcel with a nonresidential use, and is not attached, subparcel and code use each separately.
