Nassau County will celebrate our nation’s independence by presenting a fireworks show and concert in Eisenhower Park on Saturday, July 1, 2017.

TD Bank will once again sponsor “Celebrate America” at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park.

The fireworks, presented by the Long Island-based Grucci family, are part of an unforgettable night in Eisenhower Park, which kicks off with a performance by The Steam Punk Pirates, and Killer Joe and the Lido Soul Revue.

“I thank TD Bank for their continuous support, which makes our spectacular Independence Day celebration possible every year,” said Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano. “The annual Fireworks Show and Concert here in beautiful Eisenhower Park is a great opportunity for our residents to come out and enjoy this ‘World Class’ fireworks show and performances by The Steam Punk Pirates and Killer Joe and the Lido Soul Revue.”

The theatre area gates will open at 5:30 p.m. and the fireworks will begin at nightfall (approx. 9:30 p.m.).

Tickets are available beginning June 16th and are required for admission to the Theatre area.  Tickets are available free of charge, at any TD Bank on Long Island, while supplies last.  There is no formal seating; visitors should bring blankets or chairs.  Space is limited and overflow will be directed to other viewing and parking areas.

In anticipation of Independence Day, County Executive Mangano and Acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter remind residents that fireworks awareness and prevention are important issues to discuss with their families.

The possession, use, or sale of fireworks, including sparklers, is a violation of New York State Penal Law, and may be punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony.

Parents should talk with their children about the destructive outcomes that can occur from playing with fireworks.
