2017 Firework Show Dates for Evansville, Henderson, Newburgh, and More

There's nothing more American than the 4th of July. Celebrating our country's independence by getting together with family and friends, grilling out, and of course watching one of the many amazing firework shows happening around the Tri-State!

No matter where you live, there's likely a fireworks show close by for you to enjoy. Here are a few of the bigger ones:

July 4th Freedom Celebration - Evansville Riverfront

Shot from a barge floating on the Ohio River, the show is set to begin at dusk (approximately 8:50 - 9:00 p.m.). However, the party starts even earlier at 6:00 p.m., according to the Growth Alliance for a Greater Evansville, with vendors up and down Riverside Drive selling a variety of different food items including BBQ, fajitas, kettle corn, and more.

4th of July Celebration - Henderson Riverfront

Not many details for this year's event have been released by the Downtown Henderson Partnership outside of the 5:30 - 9:30 p.m. time frame. However, last year's celebration included food vendors, children's activities, and live music before the fireworks began. Continue checking the Partnership's official website for more information on this year's show.

Fireworks and Evening in the Park (July 1st) - Newburgh

With July 4th falling on a Tuesday this year, the city of Newburgh will celebrate a little earlier with their annual Fireworks and Evening in the Park on Saturday, July 1st beginning at 5:00 p.m. The evening will include "summer social" type games, food, and live music before the fireworks show begins at 9:00 p.m. Admission is free, however VIP buttons are available for $5.00 which allows you special access to a VIP seating section at Newburgh Lock & Dam.
