2025 New Britain 4th of July Fireworks, “Great American Boom” Planned

New Britain’s widely attended July 4th “Great American Boom” fireworks display, celebrating Independence Day, is planned for the 2025 celebration.

The 2025 Great American Boom fireworks event has been scheduled for Thursday, July 4, 2025 in Willow Brook Park. The city says event is to feature, “a DJ dance party capped off by one of Connecticut’s most spectacular fireworks displays”.

An estimated 40,000 people have gathered in New Britain on July 4th in past years to view New Britain’s traditionally spectacular Independence Day fireworks display.

While thousands have gathered at the park where the event is held, thousands more have historically gathered in numerous locations throughout a large swath of the city.

The city says that the event is from 5:00pm to 10:00pm.

In the past, the fireworks, themselves, have begun approximately 9:30pm.

The administration of Mayor Erin Stewart says that admission to Willow Brook Park is, “$10.00 per car. Pre-Registration Required! A parking pass is required for entry.”

Tickets have historically been available on the New Britain Parks and Recreation website.

The Parks and Recreation office phone number is 860-826-3360. Parks and Recreation often posts updates about events, including weather-related, on its Facebook page.

The rain date for the event is July 5, 2024.
