The day will come to a dramatic end with a spectacular firework show at dusk. A full aerial display of fireworks presented by Melrose Pyrotechnics will blast off at dusk. There will be excellent viewing throughout Central Park so bring your blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy the show. We’d like to thank our firecracker sponsor, Tobie Family Farm, for their support.
