Fireworks Display September 6th- Starts at DARK!

• Fireworks will be held on September 6th at dusk.The fireworks will be  set off in the Sandwich Fair Grounds. This display will be available to be seen throughout the city of Sandwich. There will not be any public seating at the Fairgrounds this year.
• Normally we take donations at the gate of the Sandwich Fair Grounds to help offset the cost of the fireworks so we can continue to put on this great show. With this year being different in the fact that we cannot use the Fairgrounds, we ask that anyone who is willing to make donations to help us produce this show contact the park district.

We will also have areas you can donate around town.

There is also a button below where you can follow to donate!  We thank you in ADVANCE!!
