MARION — Town Administrator James McGrail and the Marion Fireworks Committee are pleased to announce that the town’s fireworks display will return this summer.
The fireworks are scheduled for Friday, July 1 at dusk at the traditional location off of Silvershell Beach.
The fireworks have been cancelled for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions.
“The fireworks display is always a fun and welcoming community event and we are looking forward to hosting it once again after a two-year hiatus,” Town Administrator McGrail said. “We would also like to express our appreciation to the Fireworks Committee, which works tirelessly to obtain the funding that makes the event possible.”
The event is planned and organized by the Fireworks Committee. This year’s committee includes Co-Chairs Wendy Rocha and Cameron Van der Veer and members Pamela Cook, Tangi Thomas and Derek Tiago. The Town would also like to thank David Brissette, former Committee chair for kicking off work on the fundraising this year.
The fireworks display is funded each year through donations and sponsorships. The Fireworks Committee spends a significant amount of time each year fundraising throughout the community, including coordinating fundraising events and reaching out to local businesses.
Donations will continue to be accepted and any additional funds received this year will be put toward the 2023 fireworks display.
