By July 4, Crescenta Valley High School will have a synthetic grass field installed. For past shows, organizers put carnival rides and food stands on the school's grass field.

They have also looked at other locations, but hope to have the event at the school because it provides plenty of space for the pyrotechnicians, Maluccio said. The show lasts about 20 minutes. ``Right now we're really in the exploration phase and we don't have any answers, but we're pursuing multiple options so that the fireworks can continue,'' said Linda Evans
