Fireworks and fun on the schedule for Light Up Irvington Saturday

Independence Day means fireworks, and area communities are getting ready for their annual fireworks displays.

The City of Irvington will host their second annual Light Up Irvington event this Saturday.

“Light Up Irvington is a huge firework show, and before the fireworks start there’s a festival,” said Irvington Auxiliary Club President Tammy Butler. “We have vendors, we have games for children, we have concessions. This year we have a beer garden. We’ve got a slingshot. It’s like a big water balloon and you do a slingshot trying to hit a bucket. It’s a lot of different activities for the kids to do.”

Light Up Irvington will be held Saturday, June 29 at the Eva Carmen Park on 2nd Street in Irvington. The booths and vendors will open at 4 p.m. Eastern. Fireworks begin at dusk. 

Butler says the event got off to a great start last year and organizers are excited for year two.

“We really have a great time and it’s awesome just to see the community get together and see the smiles on their faces,” Butler said.
