Vernon Fireworks Show Moved To 'Rain Date'

VERNON, CT — Vernon's annual July in the Sky fireworks celebration has been moved to Wednesday, the advertised "rain" date.

Vernon officials cited the potential for inclement weather as the reason for moving it from Tuesday.

Town officials released the following statement:

"Due to a forecast of thunderstorms and heavy rain at times Tuesday evening, town officials,
after consulting with their meteorological service, decided to move the event to Wednesday.
Public safety is what is driving the decision to delay July in the Sky by one day. Wednesday's
forecast is for clear, dry weather, which will ensure a safe and enjoyable event for all."

On Wednesday, Henry Park will close at 4 p.m. for setup and re-open at 6 p.m. for the fireworks festivities.
