BRANFORD, CT — The town's fireworks committee announced Friday that the 2020 show is canceled due to the "significant impact" of the COVID-19 pandemic on the community.
"It is with great sadness and with the abundance of caution that we cancel this show. The choice of postponement was discussed, at this point not knowing the full impact of social distancing restrictions and full regard for the health of Branford’s citizens, we are unable to pinpoint a solid date. We thank the Branford citizens and their guest's enthusiasm for our past shows we look forward to seeing all of you in 2021," the committee wrote on Facebook.
The annual Fourth of July fireworks event is usually held at Branford Point at the end of June.
