The Fireworks Committee was originally formed by a small group of St. Michaels’ residents and business owners in 2009. For the last two years, the Committee has partnered with the Rotary Club of Saint Michaels and single-handedly raised the funds for and produced the spectacular 4th of July show on the grounds of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Most attendees agree that each year has outshone the previous one!
“Can you imagine a 4th of July weekend here in St. Michaels without fireworks?” asks St. Michaels Rotarian and Fireworks Committee Chairman, Amanda David. “Our goal is to keep this tradition alive for many years to come”.
The St. Michaels Fireworks Committee continues as a separate and independent organization. Its success will rely on Rotary volunteers and the continued and generous support of businesses and people in the Bay Hundred area. The next 4th of July’s Independence Day Fireworks Celebration will light up the skies of St. Michaels on Saturday, July 6th, 2019. For more information, please follow the Committee on Facebook here.
The Rotary Club of St. Michaels is one of 34,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide and has been active in the St. Michaels and greater Bay Hundred community for 77 years. Living by the motto “service above self”, St. Michaels Rotary works locally and globally to promote peace, fight disease, support education, provide clean water and grow economies.
