There will be no fireworks for the 4th of July on Clear Lake.The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce's annual Fourth of July fireworks display over the lake is no more.
"There are so many other displays on the lake that that's why the chamber has decided to step away," said spokeswoman Febe Menendez. "Rather, we'll support the other fireworks shows instead of competing with them."
The Clear Lake fireworks were the highlight of the Bay Area over the years. A few years ago when they moved the display from the middle of the lake to the front of the high rise condo complex, they seem to be a dud. Seems to be fitting since the complex owner has filed for bankruptcy. Now there will be none.
Look for the displays in the area as an alternatie. Nassau Bay, Webster, Friendswood, or travel to Houston to see a big event.

Were you at Clear Lake Park last year when you wrote the fireworks were so disappointing? Your blog was mentioned at chron.com/clearlake, and I assumed that's where you were but I want to confirm.
I was at clear lake park waiting for the fireworks. Saw the ones in front of endevour but we all didnt think that was the "event".
lots of folks were dissappointed. It is a moot point since it will not happen this year.
Won't there be one at Kemah, too?
Or do you object to mentioning it because it will be sponsored by a money-grubbing fascist corporation instead of a good old publicly funded people's display?
