The Fireworks committee is putting on three awesome fireworks
shows on the 4th of July, Venetian

4th of July Fireworks
Fireworks will light up the sky on Friday, July 4th for
our annual Independence Day fireworks, a celebration and salute to our
great nation. Once again picnics, parades, and fireworks (always on the
4th) will be a part of our community and country. Fireworks will begin
around 10pm (dusk), Monday over Lake Kalamazoo. Bring your chairs and
blankets to relax to the sights and booms of the show extraordinaire.
New Years Eve Fireworks
Help light up the sky over Kalamazoo Lake at midnight.
The annual "bring in the New Year's Fireworks show" will begin
at 12:02 a.m., giving everyone some time to toast in 2009.
Venetian Night Fireworks (July 25)
Fireworks extraordinaire preceded by "the 80's"
themed lighted boat parade at 9:15pm. A weekend of activities begins with
Friday night's kickoff celebration under the big top with spirits, wine,
