Greenwich Fireworks Shows Postponed

GREENWICH, CT — The Town of Greenwich’s fireworks shows that had been scheduled for Saturday, July 6 in Old Greenwich have been postponed to Sunday, July 7 “out of an abundance of caution,” due to potential thunderstorms, officials announced Friday.

“The decision was reached after the Office of the First Selectman held a joint meeting with the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Greenwich Police and Fire Departments and Emergency Management Director Joe Laucella on Friday morning,” officials wrote in a news release. “They reviewed the weather forecast for Saturday before making their decision.

“The postponement to Sunday night came after careful review and extensive consideration. The forecast is that there is the potential for thunderstorms throughout the day on Saturday and in the interests of public safety, the decision was made to wait a day.”

The time and location of the fireworks shows will remain the same, and the public is invited to either Binney Park or Greenwich Point in Old Greenwich. The Binney Park show will start at approximately 9:10 p.m. and the Greenwich Point Show will begin at approximately at 9:35 p.m.

“Please arrive early for the shows as Greenwich Point will be closed when the maximum number of cars for the available parking spaces has been reached,” officials wrote. “People should also be aware that Greenwich Point will be closed to vehicular traffic at 8:30 p.m. even if the parking capacity has not been reached.”
