Pavia Announces Labor Day Fireworks Show [Update]

Mayor Michael Pavia announced a Labor Day fireworks display earlier today to "make up" for the lack of a fireworks show on Independence Day.

Mayor Michael Pavia announced on Thursday that a Kosciuszko Park fireworks display will be scheduled for Sept. 1.

According to a press release, the "Celebrate Stamford" event, which will also include local musical and dance acts, will be sponsored by local news Web site ItsRelevant.com and Harbor Point Development in addition to the City of Stamford.

“I'm incredibly excited to bring fireworks back to Stamford and to showcase the new development at Harbor Point,” Pavia stated in the release. “This event came together incredibly quickly and it shows that when the City of Stamford gets behind something, we can produce tremendous results quickly. Private business, the city and both the police and fire departments all had to work together to make this
wonderful event possible.”
