The city will resume its annual July 4 fireworks display from the top of East Rock this year.
Mayor Justin Elicker made that announcement Tuesday from … the top of East Rock.
The 25-minute show is scheduled to start at 9:15 p.m. Rain date is July 5. The official public viewing area will be at Wilbur Cross High School, with music provided by WYBC-FM.
“We’re excited to have fireworks returning to New Haven in 2021,” Elicker said. “This is one of the largest annual cultural events in our city, and holds extra significance this year after a year or more of social distancing and social isolation.”
