HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ATTEND THE FIREWORKS?
Nothing. The shows are completely free to the public.

WHAT TIME DO THE SHOWS START?
All the shows are scheduled to begin at dusk. This means well after sunset when the sky has darkened. Our longest period of daylight is on June 21, summer solstice. This results in the latest start on the very first show on the 4th of July. After that, dusk comes a little earlier each week.

WHERE CAN MY FAMILY WATCH THE SHOW?
All along the downtown waterfront in St. Ignace, there are public access locations. The main street is called State Street and it winds along the waterfront of the harbor.

Many businesses along the waterfront may welcome their customers to view the shows on their premises. If they are open, please ask at the location if they have particular spot for their patrons.

WHERE SHOULD WE PARK?
There is ample parking throughout the downtown area.  All parking lots of the viewing locations noted above are suitable.  There is also side street parking all along State Street as all the intersecting village lanes t-bone at the waterfront.  There is a long parking lot running one block west of State Street from Truckey to Goudreau.  Be sure not to block someone’s driveway and be aware of handicap restricted parking and fire hydrants.  There is limited parking along State Street in one lane across from the water.  During some weekends, the marina parking lot may be closed for festival activities.

WHAT SHOULD WE BRING?
All your family! Folding chairs, blankets, nibbles and noshes and warm sweaters are our suggestions. The waterfront can cool down significantly after sundown.

WHAT SHOULD WE LEAVE AT HOME?
We do not recommend bringing pets but if you do, they must be leashed and under control at all times. You are responsible to clean up after them. We do not recommend bringing boomboxes as we have a musical broadcast system downtown for announcements and enjoyment.

WHERE ARE THE BATHROOMS?
There are public restrooms at several places near the viewing areas.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF IT RAINS OR IF THERE IS FOG?
The policy is that all shows will be produced if deemed safe and visible by the fireworks vendor and showman. If he should decide to cancel on Saturday, the show will be held the following night, Sunday.

ARE THERE CONCESSIONS?
There are many food and beverage outlets along the waterfront downtown. Please patronize our local businesses so that we can continue to bring these shows to you.

ARE THERE RESTRICTIONS ON ALCOHOL?
Yes. The City of St. Ignace has a zero-tolerance policy for public consumption of alcohol. There are bars and restaurants that are licensed to serve alcohol and drinks must be consumed on their premises. There are privately owned properties and homes along the waterfront where the owners may choose to serve themselves and their guests, should you be invited there.

ARE THERE OTHER LAWS OR RULES WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF?
All laws of the State of Michigan are enforced within the city limits. No personal fireworks are allowed at the shows. Be courteous to others and remember that children are all around. Their safety and enjoyment are our first priority. Loud music, cursing, intimidation, disregard for safety and other such nuisances will be reported to the authorities immediately.
