Fireworks
As the night winds down and the sun sets, the grand finale of our celebration begins at 9:30 with a brilliant fireworks display over the bay on Lake Memphremagog. Fireworks are launched from the Veteran's Memorial Long Bridge (behind Domino's) with great views from anywhere in downtown Newport or by boat in the bay. Please park and enjoy them from your vehicle/vessel. Please note, that boats will not be permitted in the bay at Gardner Park or near the South Bay railroad bridge.
