BERLIN – Town officials are expected to finalize plans for a July fireworks show at Heron Park next week.
On Monday, the Berlin Town Council will discuss plans for the town’s annual fireworks show. Though there was a proposal to hold the event at the Northern Worcester Athletic Complex, officials are now recommending Heron Park as the site of the July 3 display.
“We’re going to pursue Heron Park because we’ve done it there before,” Mayor Zack Tyndall said.
Last year, before the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the cancellation of the event, town officials had agreed to work with Worcester County Recreation and Parks to hold a fireworks show and festival at the Northern Worcester Athletic Complex. When town officials met with county staff this spring to discuss a 2021 display, Tyndall said they were advised Berlin would be responsible for providing the resources needed to hold the event.
“With everything being on us it was a little bit easier to go with the plan we know,” he said. “We are still open to collaborating in the future.”
So what happens on the 4th of July? You know, Independence Day? A sewer cleaning demonstration?
