New Britain’s widely attended July 4th “Great American Boom” fireworks display, celebrating Independence Day, is planned for the 2024 celebration.
The 2024 Great American Boom fireworks event has been scheduled for Thursday, July 4, 2024. The event is to feature clowns, face painters, DJ dance party and, of course, fireworks. The fireworks, themselves, typically begin after 9:00pm.
The administration of Mayor Erin Stewart says that the 2023 fireworks will be held again in Willow Brook Park, “$10.00 per car. Pre-Registration Required! A parking pass is required for entry.”
An estimated 40,000 people have gathered in New Britain on July 4th in past years to view New Britain’s traditionally spectacular Independence Day fireworks display.
While thousands have gathered at the park where the event is held, thousands more have gathered in numerous locations throughout a large swath of the city.
The rain date for the event is July 5, 2023.
The Parks and Recreation office phone number is 860-826-3360. Parks and Recreation often posts updates about events, including weather-related, on its Facebook page.
