Fireworks Display To Light Up The Night Sky At 7:30PM At The Third Annual Boys & Girls Club of Milford, CT Pumpkins On The Pier Event—Saturday, October 12

Milford, CT—October 1, 2013—The Boys & Girls Club of Milford, Connecticut, is excited to announce that there will be a Fireworks Display at the  Third Annual Pumpkins on the Pier Event, taking place Saturday, October 12, at Walnut Beach in Milford, Connecticut. The festival is open from 11AM to 8:30PM, culminating with a Fireworks Display at 7:30PM. Admission is free and a free shuttle service will be provided, running continuously from Jonathan Law High School to the Pumpkins on the Pier event.

Thanks to the generosity of Joe Blichfeldt, a Milford resident, this years’ Lighting of the Pier will be accompanied by fireworks! Fireworks will be set off by the talented Atlas Pyro Vision Productions, Inc. of Jaffery, New Hampshire, Gold Medal Winner of the recent 2012 Montreal International Fireworks Competition.

Also new to the event this year is the Fun Bus and the Arts & Crafts area. The Fun Bus is an interactive big, green school bus that has been retrofitted to become in essence a supervised kid’s fitness center—complete with a trampoline, monkey bars, trapeze and slide.  The Arts & Crafts Area will host a variety of crafters will be selling unique kid and family oriented items. 

The annual event will include activities for all ages. In addition to the new activities and areas above, there will be a Pumpkin Decorating Area, Pumpkin Playground, Antique & Classic Car Show, Children’s Game Area, entertainment and so much more! Attendees can also bid on pumpkins weighing over 100 pounds at the Giant Pumpkin Auction. Pumpkins of all sizes will be available for purchase in the Pumpkins on the Pier Pumpkin Patch.
