From staff reports

After a two-year absence, a free concert with fireworks is returning to Riverfront Park.

The concert, called the Royal Fireworks Concert, is planned for July 28 at 9 p.m. on the south bank of the Spokane River near the Spokane Convention Center, according to a news release from Royal Fireworks.

It will feature a ballet show by the Spokane Ballet Studio at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. The concert will include a performance by the 60-piece Royal Band that plays George Frideric Handel’s Musick for the Royal Fireworks from 1849 in sync with fireworks.

Convention Center construction has barred the performance for the past two years, according to the news release.

The concert will mark the group’s 38th year.
