PAWTUCKET – Darkened McCoy Stadium will be bright for one night when the city sets off a one-time fireworks display on July 3, the date the stadium’s largest display was traditionally held when the Pawtucket Red Sox were playing here.
Mayor Donald Grebien and the Pawtucket City Council announced that the city will be hosting the Independence Day celebration fireworks event at McCoy Stadium at 9 p.m. that day.
The Breeze previously reported that the city was working on holding some type of fireworks display despite the stadium no longer being occupied by the PawSox, with the team previously responsible for up to 17 fireworks displays per season. Developers of a new soccer stadium on the riverfront have said that they want to be part of future displays.
Ashland Times Gazette
The Rotary Club of Ashland is bringing back its “50-50 Super Raffle” for a second year to help fund the July 4 Ashland Rotary Fireworks, according to a news release from Rotary.
Tickets are $100 each with a maximum of 150 tickets sold and the winning ticket worth up to $7,500 if all the tickets are sold. The winner’s drawing will be broadcast live on the Rotary Club’s Facebook page and WRDL-88.9 during the pre-fireworks show on the evening of July 4th. Last year’s winning payout was $6,000.
“While the COVID pandemic has presented many challenges and changes in our lives, there is a new sense of optimism and hope that the worst is behind us,” says Fireworks Committee chair Mitch Piskur in the release. “We hope that this year’s July 4 festivities will not only remember our nation’s heritage but will celebrate our community’s victory over COVID.”
Freetown Fireworks Will Not Be Held This Year
Possibly one of the biggest traditions amongst everyone in America is going to see fireworks on the Fourth of July every year. Last year, I feel as though the only fireworks I witnessed were in the streets of New Bedford and that doesn t replace the real deal over the waterfront.
This year, we were hoping to get back a little bit more normalcy, but unfortunately, some organizations do not see that happening for good reason. The Freetown Parade and Fireworks committee recently posted a status on its Facebook page stating that the event will not be held this year with the intention of making sure everyone remains safe and healthy.
