BROOKFIELD, CT -- Wondering where you can see fireworks as the Fourth of July approaches? The nearest venues will be in Danbury, and neither one will be on July 4th, which falls on a Wednesday.

Here is what you need to know.

Candlewood Lake

The Candlewood Lake (36 Hayestown Road) fireworks will take place on Saturday, June 30, with a rain date of July 1. You can view the fireworks on land at Danbury Town Park or by boat.

1. CLA Marine Patrol and CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's EnCon Police will have a significant presence on the water, please follow their directions for everyone's safety.
2. All boats will be required to remain north of City Island and on the western half of the Lake. Marine Patrol and EnCon Police will direct boaters to the proper locations.
