Fireworks to return for Attleboro's Independence Day celebration
ATTLEBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — This year's Independence Day festivities in Attleboro will once again include a fireworks display. Mayor Cathleen DeSimone said last year's laser show was 'well received by many folks in the community,' but there 'was a clear preference for fireworks' after the city conducted a social media poll. 'Last summer, after receiving the results of the poll, I asked Recreation Director Christy Clausen to lead a team of staff members and community volunteers in planning and fundraising for a fireworks display this summer,' she explained. BACKGROUND: Attleboro mayor suggests laser light show in lieu of fireworks This year's display will be at 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 3, at Hayward Field on North Avenue. According to DeSimone, the event—which includes the fireworks, food trucks, entertainment and public safety details—will cost around $60,000. (For reference, last year's laser show was $15,000.) The funding for this year's event will mainly come from donations and sponsorships, DeSimone said. The Municipal Council also approved city funding. DeSimone said she also hopes the city can find more people to join the volunteer committee and community partners to share the costs of the event with a big milestone coming up. 'With next year being the country's 250th birthday, we are going to need extra help planning and fundraising,' she said. NEXT: Lisa Field wins special election for late Rep.
