Clinton SummerFest Fireworks

Join us for the Clinton SummerFest Fireworks on Saturday, August 23, 2026, in Clinton, Connecticut—a celebration that brings together families, friends, and neighbors to create lasting memories by the water. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Connecticut River, this event offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and community spirit. The evening begins at 4 p.m. at Pierson School, where you’ll find a variety of food trucks serving delicious barbecue and sweet treats like funnel cakes. Live music fills the air, and a dedicated kids’ activity area ensures fun for all ages. As dusk approaches, the festivities move to the Town Beach for a spectacular fireworks display that lights up the night sky, visible from the beach and surrounding areas. Admission is free, and ample lawn seating and boat-watching docks provide comfortable spots to enjoy the show.

This event is designed for everyone: families with children can enjoy the safe, open spaces and engaging activities; pet lovers will appreciate the dog-friendly environment; couples can find quiet corners for scenic photos; and large reunion groups will have plenty of room to gather and share meals. The evening is filled with the sights and sounds of live music, the aroma of food wafting through the air, and the joy of fireworks reflecting off the river—a true celebration of togetherness and the simple pleasures of lakeside living.
