Horsham Day Date Set, Fireworks Contract Approved

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —The township is preparing for its annual celebration.

Horsham Day will take place this year on Saturday, June 3. And the fireworks for that celebration are also under contract.

At a recent meeting, the Township Council approved a $16,600 contract for Celebration Fireworks Inc. to handle the annual festivities.

"We've used them 10 years or longer," Township Manager Bill Walker said. "It's worked out very well. They are very safe and we've had no accidents. They have a good staff."

Horsham Day returned last year after a two-year absence due to the pandemic.

The all-day event last year involved the Horsham Township Council, staff, volunteers, first responders, fire police, businesses, restaurants, non-profits, the Hatboro-Horsham School District, and Joe Heffernan and the Babylon Business Campus, among others.
