Frequently Asked
Questions
What if the fireworks are rained out?
The decision to have the fireworks display on the 4th of July is a last-minute decision based on weather conditions unless it is obvious that rain or storms would continue through the entire 9 to 10 o’clock hour. They may start a little early or a little late depending on cloud cover, weather conditions, and what kind of window presents itself. The rain date would be the following day. If that is also rained out, the fireworks would be postponed to a future date to be determined by the Town, Minocqua Area Visitors Bureau, and the fireworks contractor.
