Fireworks Postponed In Norwalk Due To Weather Forecast: City

NORWALK, CT — The city's annual Independence Day concert and fireworks, originally scheduled to take place Thursday, July 3, have been postponed to Saturday, July 5, due to the weather forecast, city officials announced Thursday morning.

According to a news release provided by the city, the weather forecast is "predicting thunderstorms [Thursday] evening with a risk of strong winds that would present challenges to the fireworks and people coming to and leaving Calf Pasture Beach."

On Saturday, the city's schedule for fireworks and musical entertainment at Calf Pasture Beach will be the exact same as previously scheduled for July 3, city officials said.

DJ Nuzzo will begin his set at 5 p.m. and an additional musical entertainer, Soul Amazing, will perform from 7:15 p.m. to 8:45 p.m., according to the city.

The fireworks will begin around 8:55 p.m., and DJ Nuzzo will perform again after the fireworks show at 9:50 p.m. to encourage residents to stay and avoid the post-show rush, according to the city.

Resident parking is free for vehicles registered with the city's grand list and is available at Calf Pasture Beach, Shady Beach, Taylor Farm and Marvin Elementary School. The city recommends residents check that their vehicle is on the city's grand list to avoid a fine.

If a resident's vehicle is not on the grand list, they can email a copy of their vehicle registration to residentpass@norwalkct.gov by 2 p.m. on July 3.

Non-resident parking is $72 and individuals must pay through ParkMobile app (Zone: 2035). There will be a fine of $150 for non-payments.

Non-residents are only permitted to park at Calf Pasture Beach (non-resident lot) or Taylor Farm.
