You don’t want to miss this year‘s Manchester fireworks, widely considered one of the best in our area!

For the 45th year, the Manchester Men’s Club will host the annual Independence Day fireworks on July 3 (with a rain date of July 4) at Carr Park in Manchester. This year’s fireworks will celebrate 250 years of independence.

The park and food vendors open at 3pm. Come grab your favorite fair food and find your spot. Bring your own blankets and/or lawn chairs. The beer tent and music area opens at 6pm and requires $5 cover to enter. This year the Mens Club will be trying out accepting credit cards (but bringing cash is always a safe bet). DJ, throw yo hands up entertainment, starts at 6pm.

Fireworks by Wolverine Fireworks will began after sunset (between 10pm and 10:15pm) and will last about 20 min.

There is no fee to enter the park but donations are collected at the entrance and Mens Club members will also be riding golf carts around town collecting donations. Every dollar raised goes directly toward next year’s fireworks!

Thanks to this year’s fireworks sponsors, Worth Repeating and American One Credit.
