Don’t forget the annual fireworks — July 3

2021 fireworks viewed from Wurster Park

Don’t miss one of Manchester’s biggest events! It’s the annual fireworks on July 3 at Carr Park.

This will be the 40th Annual Men’s Club Fireworks and Beer Tent and will feature the popular (and long-standing) local band Star69. The Beer Tent opens at 7pm and seating will be available for watching the fireworks. Fireworks will start at dark, which is usually around 10:15pm. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, fireworks will be rescheduled for Wednesday, July 4.

Multiple food vendors will be onsite, and an ATM will be available, courtesy of American 1 Credit Union.

There is no charge for entry, but donations at the gate (or ahead of time) are highly encouraged. Whatever is collected this year goes directly to paying for next year’s show — so the quality of each year’s fireworks depends upon the generosity of visitors. Donations also can be mailed to MANCHESTER MEN’S CLUB, P.O. Box 171, Manchester, MI 48158.

According to the Men’s Club president, “What we make, we shoot!“

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
