Fireworks - New Location!

Independence Day festivities in the Town of Erie have varied and changed over time. From parades to concerts, speeches, and baseball games to pie eating and pageants. But one thing has always been constant; a celebration among friends and family under an illuminated sky.

New this year, we are excited to host the 2021 celebration at the Erie Community Park (450 Powers Street) with pyrotechnics launched from the rooftop of the Erie Community Center! The display begins at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 3, and will last approximately 15-20 minutes. Parking is limited! Be sure to check out the webpage for alternate viewing locations, prohibited items, and more at www.erieco.gov/fireworks.
