The Town of Greenwich Parks &amp; Recreation Foundation, in partnership with the Town of Greenwich Parks &amp; Recreation Department, is proud to announce the launch of Light Up Greenwich, a community-wide fundraising campaign designed to enhance the Town’s beloved Fourth of July fireworks celebrations taking place this July at Binney Park and Greenwich Point.
The campaign will run through June 1, allowing sufficient time for fireworks ordering and production planning ahead of the July celebrations
In honor of our country’s 250th anniversary in 2026, the campaign seeks to raise an additional $25,000 to elevate this year’s displays creating a more dynamic, memorable experience for the thousands of residents and families who gather each year to celebrate Independence Day. 
For generations, the Town’s fireworks have united neighbors, families, and friends in a shared celebration of community pride, celebrating the spirit of the Fourth of July holiday. As Greenwich prepares to commemorate this historic milestone alongside the national America 250
 initiative, the Foundation is calling on residents, businesses, and civic leaders to play a meaningful role in amplifying this cherished tradition.
“At its core, this celebration is about our country and community,” said Joe Siciliano, Director of Parks and Recreation. “Each year, we are proud to bring residents together for an experience that feels both timeless and uniquely Greenwich. As we approach the 250th anniversary of America, we have an opportunity to make this year’s fireworks truly exceptional, but doing so requires the support of the community we serve.”
The campaign comes at a time when the cost of producing fireworks displays has risen significantly due to increased production expenses, supply chain pressures, and tariffs impacting materials. These factors have made it more challenging for municipalities nationwide to maintain let alone enhance the scale and quality of traditional displays.
“This is a moment where community partnership matters more than ever,” said Sue Moretti Bodson, Co-Chair of the Town of Greenwich Parks &amp; Recreation Foundation. “With rising costs and external pressures like tariffs impacting fireworks production, we are stepping forward to ensure that this milestone celebration reflects the significance of America’s 250th anniversary. Light Up Greenwich
 is about more than fireworks - it’s about bringing people together, honoring our shared history, and creating a joyful, collective experience for the entire Town.”
Funds raised through the campaign will directly support enhancements to the July 2, 2026, fireworks displays at both Binney Park and Greenwich Point, ensuring a more vibrant and elevated show befitting this historic year. 
The campaign includes opportunities for corporate sponsorship, community giving, and broad-based participation, with recognition across digital promotions, press materials, and event acknowledgments. Sponsorship levels range from $1,000 to $7,500, alongside individual giving opportunities designed to engage residents of all ages.
Event Details: 
Thursday, July 2, 2026 (Rain Date July 11)
