Norwalk's 4th Of July Fireworks 2021 Canceled

NORWALK, CT — Although coronavirus cases continue to drop across the country while the number of those who are fully vaccinated continues to rise, many Independence Day celebrations have once again been canceled, modified or will be held virtually due to the pandemic.

While Norwalk's fireworks, parades and 5K events have been canceled, a replacement event has not been announced at this time.

Nearby in New Canaan, the town will hold its 40th annual Family Fourth of July Celebration on July 11 at Waveny Park.

According to the town website, the celebration will begin at 5 p.m. and is restricted to New Canaan residents and their guests in light of the coronavirus crisis.

Planned activities include family picnicking and several gourmet food trucks. Live music will include Mind the Gap from 5:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. and the Town Band from 7:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m., with fireworks scheduled to start soon after.

The event was originally scheduled to take place July 3 but was postponed due to weather.

In Darien, the town's fireworks display will be held July 15, with a rain date scheduled for July 22.

Due to the pandemic, counties or cities may adjust or cancel events at the last minute. Check your event before you go. Know of other events in the area? Post them on the Patch calendar or share details on our free Neighbor Post feature.
