Should Framingham Have Independence Day Fireworks?

A group of Framingham residents is exploring the idea of bringing Fourth of July fireworks back to MetroWest, specifically Framingham.

Framingham hosted fireworks along Farm Pond decades upon decades ago.

Most recently, MetroWest had July 4th fireworks in Natick, until the new garage was built at the Natick Mall.

Led by Framingham resident Samir Parikh, the group is looking at the idea of Framingham hosting fireworks on July 2, allowing MetroWest residents to still attend the Natick and Sudbury parades on July 4.

To start the process, Parikh wants to know if there is interest in having fireworks in MetroWest.

MetroWest residents are asked to participate in a "fireworks survey."

To participate visit: www.surveymonkey.com/r/92WKW2Z

The survey asks a couple of questions including "would you participate in a fireworks display if held in Framingham, probably on the evening of July 2nd?"

The survey also asks residents, if they would be interested in any of the following events:

• Fireworks display held in Framingham (free to view)
• A carnival very close by the location with the fireworks (carnival fees apply)
• Food truck festival during the afternoon and evening before fireworks (usual food truck costs for food)
