Community Support Brings Fireworks over Johnson's Pond for Another Year

COVENTRY, RI—The Fourth of July is here and that means its time to dust the cobwebs off that lawn chair and get ready to head on down to Johnson’s Pond for the annual Johnson’s Pond 4th of July Fireworks Display.

The show is organized by the Johnson's Pond Civic Association and is supported by generous donations from residents and the local business community to pay for the police detail, fireworks and other costs associated with the show.

The Coventry Police Department usually starts restricting access into Wood Estates and surrounding areas at around 7 p.m. Only locals will be allowed in or out so make sure your guests get in before things get busy.

Police will be patrolling Tiogue Avenue, Nooseneck Hill, Hill Farm and Flat River Roads, so make sure you don’t park there.

The fireworks usually start around 9 p.m.

If you want to contribute to the fireworks fund, send a donation to JCPA P.O. Box 123 Coventry, RI 02816. Write “Fireworks Contribution” in the memo field.
