Last year's Independence Day Fireworks were  the best ever.  This July 4th, the City of Utica and The
DRIVE are planning another great night of live music and family-friendly events and demonstrations capped off by an awesome skyshow presented by American Fireworks Maunfacturing of Frankfort.

 

TheDRIVE and other local sponsors are stepping up again to provide support that makes it possible to keep this event celebrating our Freedom free, as  Fireworks displays should be.


We thank the Bank of Utica, Victory of Rome, the FX Matt Brewery and Picture Perfect Pools for joining us in sponsoring this year's event in Proctor Park on Thursday, July 4th.

Special thanks to the Utica Police & Fire Departments, the Parks Department, the DPW, Mayor Rob Palmieri, the Utica Common Council, Utica Marketing Driector Gene Allen & Trina,  Joe Fanelli Sound & Lighting, Ameican Fireworks Manufacturing and participating vendors.
