Fireworks at Dark New Mexico Tech’s annual July 4th fireworks display will take place this year. In
order to ensure everyone can see the display while practicing proper social distancing
in accordance with New Mexico’s COVID-19 guidelines, the fireworks will be relocated
to near the top of M Mountain. This will allow the Socorro community to take in the
fireworks from the comfort of their homes. While the Socorro community usually takes
in the display from the New Mexico Tech Golf Course, the course will not be available
for spectators this year. In order to protect the health and wellbeing of the Socorro
community, NMT's main campus is closed for viewing of the fireworks, as well as all
other 4th of July festivities.
