Fireworks to light up Port Washington beach park

The Island Now

The Town of North Hempstead announced last Wednesday that the Memorial Day Fireworks and Commemoration Ceremony, with its sponsor NEFCU, will be held at North Hempstead Beach Park on Saturday, May 28.

This year, the Memorial Day Fireworks and Commemoration Ceremony will feature members representing the Girl Scouts of Nassau County leading the pledge, as well as musical entertainment from two bands: Unforgettable Fire, a U2 tribute band; and FiveStone, who will be playing popular songs from the ‘80s. 

North Hempstead Beach Park offers a boardwalk along the water and picnic areas so visitors can enjoy a start to the summer season.

“Our Memorial Day Fireworks Ceremony is always a wonderful way to kick off the summer,” said North Hempsrtead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth.  “By recognizing our Veterans we have the opportunity to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for our freedom.”

The program will start at 6 p.m.  Fireworks will begin at darkness.

The event is free but vehicles will be charged a $10 parking fee.  For more information, please visit www.northhempsteadny.gov or call 311 or (516) 869-6311.
