Candlewood Lake Fireworks Display on Saturday!

Fireworks over Candlewood Lane on Saturday, June 30!

Each year, typically the Saturday before the 4th of July, the Danbury Volunteer Fire Department organizes the fireworks display in Danbury Bay. Fireworks begin at dusk.

The fireworks are professionally produced and are launched from just behind City Island in the Bay.  Great viewing can be had from land at the Danbury Town Park or via boat.

If you are viewing the event from the water, please be prepared.

1. CLA Marine Patrol and CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's EnCon Police will have a significant presence on the water, please follow their directions for everyone's safety.

2. All boats will be required to remain north of City Island and on the western half of the Lake.  Marine Patrol and EnCon Police will direct boaters to the proper locations.

3. All boats MUST demonstrate they have the proper safety equipment on board...notably sufficient and proper Personal Flotation Devices (life vests) for each person on board and working navigation and anchor lights for your vessel.  Safety checkpoints will be set up for all boats entering the Bay.  Having your lights on and having each person hold their PFD up (or wearing it if required by law) will help keep things moving smoothly.

The area beyond the checkpoints is a temporary NO WAKE ZONE. 

When leaving at the end of the show, exit at a NO WAKE SPEED, utilizing the eastern half of the Lake.

As always, boating emergencies should be called into the 24 Hour Emergency Dispatch 860-424-3333.

Your cooperation will help ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all in attendance.
