Due to the forecast of inclement weather, New Haven’s fireworks display has been rescheduled to WEDNESDAY, JULY 5th. It will still be a wonderful evening for residents to come together, enjoy the fireworks and celebrate our nation’s independence. The fireworks will be set off atop East Rock Park around 9 pm and will last about 25 minutes.
The official viewing site is the Wilbur Cross High School athletic fields, but you can see the fireworks from many locations around the City. A good rule of thumb is if you can see the summit of East Rock Park, you’ll see the fireworks. Also, parking at Wilbur Cross is limited so please plan accordingly -- it may be faster to park a few blocks away and walk from there, as the traffic leaving the event takes some time to clear out.
Finally, a note on safety: please leave the fireworks to the professionals. Fireworks are dangerous and can result in serious injury and fires. Only sparklers and fountain fireworks are permitted by those 16 years of age or older – all other fireworks are illegal. Police and Fire Marshals will be out enforcing these regulations.
Thank you for your cooperation and I hope you and your family have a safe and wonderful holiday
