The Annual Family Fourth of July Celebration will be held on Friday July 4th at Waveny Park. The late day activities will include: family picnicking, live music, children’s games area, food court, and a spectacular fireworks display. Gates open at 5 p.m.
Traditionally the largest single gathering of the New Canaan community each year, the event celebrating our country’s independence offers fun for the entire family – gourmet food trucks, picnicking, children’s games, gathering with friends, and a fireworks display that will be recognized as second-to-none. The local band Mind The Gap will perform from approximately 5:30 to 7:00, and the Town Band will play classic, patriotic holiday music from 7:30 to 9:15.
The Town’s 4th of July Fireworks celebration is funded by the sale of entrance passes and donations. Passes are required for residents and their guests – one pass per car, one pass per family walking in. The cost is $35 per pass, same price as last year. Non-resident passes are not being sold.
