Join Us for Delta Township's 50th Annual July 3 Fireworks Display
This year marks the 50th Annual Fireworks Display for Delta Township. Join thousands of other area residents for this
fun-filled magical night on July 3 at Sharp Park to celebrate
Independence Day.
Here are some things to remember to help make your fireworks experience more enjoyable:
- During the day on July 3, Sharp Park will be closed to motor vehicles. The Delta Township District Library parking lot will also be closed to vehicle traffic. There will be two entrances into Sharp Park. The main entrance from Elmwood Road, which will be open to pedestrian traffic, and to vehicles holding a valid parking permit obtained from the Delta Township Parks & Recreation Department. The second entrance will be at the west end of Sharp Park, at the East/West Pathway entry into the park and is open to pedestrians or bicyclists for the majority of the day. From 9:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. the pathway will be closed for safety reasons.
- If you want to watch the display somewhere other than Sharp Park, there are several large parking lots in the vicinity for spectators such as the Lansing Mall, Meijer, and Target.
- Sharp Park will have several food vendors on site including: Smoke N' Pig BBQ, Cottage Inn Pizza, and Chick-Fil-A.
- A permit is required for alcoholic beverages at Sharp Park, and can be obtained through the Parks and Recreation Department at no charge through July 3, at 5:00 p.m.
- Fireworks, missile-like objects, weapons or firearms that are not permitted by law are prohibited in Sharp Park. People entering Sharp Park will be subject to a visual inspection of their person, parcels, bags and containers, and clothing capable of carrying such items.
We would like to take this opportunity to emphasize safety in the use of fireworks and ask that citizens follow the state fireworks statute as we approach the Fourth of July Holiday.
