Fireworks
Antimony is known throughout Central Utah for its 4th of July fireworks display. Under the direction of Mayor Shannon Allen, the town moved its annual fireworks display from the town park to Otter Creek Reservoir. This allowed the town to take advantage of a unique water venue for the fireworks. The fireworks are shot over the lake, reflecting off the water. The fireworks have become so popular that hundreds of residents of nearby towns forego their own towns' fireworks displays to see Antimony's display. Funded by donations, Antimony almost certainly, spends more, per capita, on fireworks than any other town in the state of Utah.Demographics
