Fireworks Light Up The Sky At Norwalk’s Calf Pasture Beach
One of the many spectacular fireworks shows that took place earlier this month was at Norwalk’s Calf Pasture Beach. The show was the highlight of the July 4th celebration at the beach, which included live music by one of Fairfield county’s favorite bands, the Funky Dawgs who have played many times in Westport.
Fireworks continued the week of the 4th with Ridgefield holding their display on Sunday the 7th after threat of rain postponed their planned Saturday show. Rain also postponed the show at Darien High School set for Friday July 12th and will instead take place this Friday, July 14th.

Signs of patriotism and the celebration of our nation’s founding were everywhere. Norwalk PD marine unit kept boaters at a safe distance.
Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling and his first lady Lucia were on hand to enjoy the festivities and the beautiful fireworks show. Kids were having fun with bubble guns, while teens were enjoying the newly popular game of spike ball while others displayed their skill at Pepsi-Pong.

The brilliant shells were varied and many and were reflected in the waters of Long Island Sound.
Some folks went all out on their red, whit and blue. Teens took a moment from their game to show off for the camera. The day was a perfect opportunity for dads to dance with their kids and grandmothers to bond with their grandchildren. Not all who gathered for the event and show were born in the USA. One woman was fully prepared to dig a very large whole. We did not ask what the purpose was. Some may have been too young to fully understand the big party, but they enjoyed it nonetheless.
