Free Fireworks This Weekend At Eisenhower Park

EAST MEADOW, NY — With clear skies in the forecast, Nassau County is going to kick off the Labor Day weekend with a fireworks display and concert at Eisenhower Park.

The "Celebrate America" show is being held on Saturday, and will start at 7 p.m. The free concert and fireworks show is honoring first responders and essential workers. The fireworks were postponed from July, when they usually happen at Eisenhower Park.

“We’ve made tremendous progress in the fight against COVID-19, in part thanks to those who fought on the frontlines well before vaccines were available — and I am proud to light up the sky in their honor,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. “Whether you worked in public transportation throughout the pandemic, or waited on call in our firehouses, or worked as a janitor in a healthcare facility — thank you. Labor Day weekend is a big deal for our residents, so I want to thank TD Bank for helping us host this extraordinary fireworks display — providing our residents with a great way to close out the summer season in our county’s beautiful Eisenhower Park.”

It will be held at Eisenhower Park's Lakeside Theater. Guests should bring chairs or blankets to sit on.

The concert will feature Radio Flashback, a group that specializes in covering hits from the 70s and 80s. The concert will be followed by a Grucci fireworks display. There will also be food trucks on site.

Food options will include teriyaki bowls from Elizabeth Walker’s Teriyaki Plus; wontons from All American Wontons; Puerto Rican and Irish fusion from Greekish Rican Grill; oven-baked pizza from Fast Edddie’s Pizza Trailer; dairy free, gluten free and vegan alternatives to ice cream from Amanda Bananas; shaved ice from Ice Delights and Grandpa Johnnies; ice cream from The Milk & sugar Truck and coffee and donuts from Vice Donuts.

The weather forecast calls for clear skies and cool temperatures. Highs for the day will reach 77, and dip into the 60s at night, so you may want to bring a sweatshirt or jacket.
