Family Fourth set for July 4, 2025; fireworks contract for 2026 under negotiation
Summary
Committee confirmed dates for the 2025 Family Fourth and discussed securing a fireworks contractor and a target nighttime date for the 2026 anniversary celebrations.
Committee leaders confirmed the Family Fourth event will be held on Friday, July 4, 2025, with a primary rain date of Saturday, July 5 and a second rain date of Saturday, July 12. David said tickets sold for a canceled year in a prior instance were honored in the following year and that the committee’s standing policy has been to offer no refunds.
The group discussed longer‑range planning for 2026, the United States’ 250th anniversary year. Members said a separate committee is forming for 2026 activities and that Family Fourth organizers expect to be a central feature of the summer calendar. The committee reported it has contacted the fireworks company and is seeking a written contract to secure a Saturday night fireworks display for July 4, 2026, with a backup date if needed.
Members said negotiating the fireworks contractor requires coordination with other towns and vendors, and the committee emphasized the importance of getting a contract in writing far in advance because of the special nature of the 2026 schedule.
