Fireworks a Go For July 4th Celebration

Fireworks will again light up the sky over Oakland Avenue this Fourth of July, as the Harrison Town Board announced recently that the town has secured enough funds to host a fireworks display this year.

The annual fireworks display, funded almost entirely by local donations, is organized by Harrison resident Roy Alletti, who has told the board this year's event is a go.

Weather permitting, the fireworks display will begin at 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of Oakland and Halstead Avenue on July 4. A rain date has been set for July 7 at the same location.

The will also debut that evening, with a performance from local band Reunion scheduled for 7:45 p.m. at the same location.

Alletti is still accepting donations for the display, you can stop at on Purdy Street if you would like to contribute.
