On Saturday August
18th, the 23rd Annual Jaffrey Festival of Fireworks will be held at the Jaffrey
Airport. New Hampshire is lucky to be the home of Atlas
Fireworks, one of the country’s leading designers of fireworks
displays. They are well-known for their colorful pyrotechnic productions
in cities throughout the U.S., including Boston and Washington, DC, and
even in far-flung places like Shanghai!
Every August in Jaffrey, Atlas Fireworks produces a 30-minute
themed fireworks display choreographed with music. Upwards of 30,000
people come to watch. If you’re an aficionado of pyrotechnics, plan to
come early – doors open at 4 – and the best viewing spots get taken quickly.
To while away the time until the main show, there are typical fair amusements
and food stands, and even a skydiving show. Many attendees bring
picnic supplies and camp out on the tarmac.
The theme for
this year’s show will be Rock the Stars! It will no doubt be a very memorable
program. Tickets are on sale now; several categories of tickets are
available for all sizes of vehicles as well as for walk-ins. For details
on the festival, or to purchase your tickets in advance, see the Jaffrey
Chamber of Commerce website
