Join us for an evening full of activities followed by 21st-century fireworks.

Gates open at 6:00 with music, magic and more, followed by the fireworks at dusk.

For the safety and comfort of all guests, all coolers, bags, chairs, and backpacks will be subject to inspection at the point of admission.

Highlights include:

Reading of the Declaration of Independence
Music, entertainment, games and contests, including pie-eating, sack races, and quoits (similar to horseshoes, popular in early New England)
Food, beverage and souvenir tents - including beer and wine
And of course, FIREWORKS!  

The Countryside opens for fireworks seating at 7:30 p.m., with seating limited to designated areas.

Enjoy a dinner buffet at the Oliver Wight Tavern from 4:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. (reservations required) or you are welcome to bring a picnic. Beer and wine are available for sale. (Alcoholic beverages may not be brought in.)
