Why we list it

The 7 pm fireworks exist specifically so families can celebrate and be home by 9. Don't try to stay for midnight with young kids.

Dates and ticket prices change every season, and this one is no exception — always confirm on the official site before you drive. See it alongside everything else on the GOkidOZ event calendar, or browse the full winter guide.
