MILWAUKEE -- The U.S. Bank July 3rd fireworks show will feature than 10,000 pounds of fireworks, with 5,000 igniters lighting more than 20,000 shells. It all takes place off the shore of Veterans Park on Milwaukee's lakefront.
The fireworks display begins at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 3rd. If you're not able to attend the fireworks display in person, you can watch the entire thing ONLY ON FOX6.
This year’s fireworks show will feature three distinct sections, each with its own finale. The first showcases a synchronized firing of shells to highlight precision timing, followed by simultaneous mass effects. The third section will build up toward the finale. The grand finale will feature a barrage of both low-level and high-level effects. This year's display will feature new shells not seen in last year's show plus some old favorites. A state-of-the-art electronic system will ensure proper timing of the colorful and noisy fireworks display. It will be connected by more than eight miles of wire.
The best seats can be found in Veterans Park and Juneau Park. Handicap parking is available at the north end of Veterans Park. As parking is at a premium, going further out and catching a number of downtown buses to the lakefront, or taking the Summerfest shuttle along Wisconsin Avenue may be the best option.
