Milford's 4th Of July Fireworks Event Is A Go

MILFORD, CT — Milford's Downtown Fireworks event, which is the kickoff to summer, will be held on June 26 and a rain date of July 10 has been picked, said Daniel Worroll, who organizes the annual event.

Last year's fireworks bash was cancelled due to the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.

Worroll said the fireworks event will be held throughout the downtown area from 4-11:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 26.

There will be two bands performing, Sapphire from 4-7 p.m., and Rum Runners from 7:30 until 11 p.m.

Residents are urged to visit downtown restaurants and enjoy the fireworks, Worroll said.

Shuttle busses will be offered from Harborside Middle School, Daniel Wasson Field and the Milford Senior Center. Parking will be restricted for much of the downtown area.

Worroll said folks are urged to grab a spot downtown to watch the fireworks in an effort to help ensure everyone is spread out.

Worroll thanked the Devon Rotary and Milford Bank for its generous donations which helped ensure the event is being held.

"It should be a good time," said Worroll, while adding that the fireworks begin at 9:15 p.m. He said this will be the "biggest" fireworks bash ever in Milford as vendors had a lot of extra stock due to the mass cancellations in 2020.
