Thank you for your Input!

Help plan our professional fireworks display for the USA’s 250th Anniversary! Due to significant constraints on vendor equipment and staff availability, we have two options for this year’s fireworks display date. The graphic shows the two options and compares them to 2025.

Please share your opinion so we can gauge the community’s preference and determine the best path forward for the 2026 July Fireworks. Please respond by Wednesday, January 28th.

The Options:

1. July 6 (Lower Cost): We share the barge, equipment and crew used for the July 4 oceanfront show.

2. July 2 (Higher Cost): Requires finding and renting a separate barge, equipment and crew, which are currently scarce due to HRBT/CBBT construction.

Key Reminders:

*Donations are critical: Fundraising was down last year, and 2026 prices are at a premium. We need your support to pull this off!

Safety first: Beach launches are strictly prohibited and illegal. The city will heavily enforce fireworks laws this year.

Keep it local: This is a permitted “private” community event. Promoting it to the general public would trigger requirements for extra security, parking and facilities that we cannot afford.
