The celebration will begin at 4:00 p.m. with live music provided by Edge of Dreams and the Jessie Liam Band and will culminate with massive fireworks display scheduled to light up the night at 9:00 p.m. after the playing of our National Anthem. Food and ice cream trucks will be available for residents and visitors to enjoy throughout the night. The rain date for this event is Monday, July 5th, 2021.
Mayor Baldelli-Hunt enthusiastically stated, “Our spectacular event this year not only celebrates our great nation’s independence, but also pays tribute both to the resiliency of our Woonsocket community in withstanding the COVID-19 pandemic and to the optimism that we all have for brighter days ahead.” The Mayor added, “This will be a great time for our residents and visitors to get together with family and friends to have fun in the beautiful outdoor setting that World War II Veterans Memorial Park provides while enjoying live music and watching our best fireworks display yet.”
Human Services Director Linda Plays who was instrumental in pulling together this event offered, “This will be a perfect opportunity to see friends and neighbors whom we have not had contact with since the pandemic shut everything down and will be a nice start to a more optimistic and active summer.”

The City will also broadcast a weather-related postponement of the event to Monday July 5th on its “Code Red” alert system.
