Chicopee Parks & Recreation Department to hold

annual Fireworks Celebration on June 26th

CHICOPEE – The City of Chicopee’s annual firework display will be held on Saturday night June 26th with a rain date of Sunday night June 27th. Fireworks will start at dark around 9:20 PM.

Fireworks display sponsored by major sponsors Polish National Credit Union and Westfield Bank. Also sponsored by Teddy Bear Pools & Spas, Florence Bank, and Paul Bunyan’s Farm & Nursery. Come join the Chicopee Parks & Recreation Department for a fun night out and enjoy our annual event held at Chicopee’s Szot Park.

There will be a new set-up this year as the fireworks will be shot off from the upper pool parking lot along Sgt. Tracy Drive to be displayed over the tree belt, best viewed from inside the stadium. Once the fireworks are on-site to be set up, Sgt. Tracy Drive will be closed for the day to both vehicle and foot traffic for safety purposes. Also, the upper pool parking lot, basketball courts, spray pad, and a portion of the upper field will be closed to the public for safety purposes.

Food, Face Painting, and Novelty Vendors will be available for your enjoyment and pleasure. There will be a live band performance by the Dan Kane Singers that will add to the festivities, starting around 6:30 PM inside the stadium.
