New This Year:

Residents are reminded that weather conditions always play a role in the annual Fireworks Show. If fire and police officials determine that continuing the fireworks display impacts the safety of individuals and property in the area, the display could be delayed or stopped. Should that happen this year, announcements will be made over the public address system and staff will notify viewers of the status. Please see below for our new fireworks lighting system. This year, look for the lights to see what's going on with the fireworks display.
