GoFourth! Fireworks

The spectacular Fourth of July fireworks organized by the all-volunteer Pottstown GoFourth! committee will be back this year as the Borough of Pottstown and visiting neighbors gather to celebrate Independence Day!  Unfortunately, last year’s fireworks and GoFourth! Festival had to be cancelled, for obvious reasons.

The pyrotechnics show will begin in Memorial Park at 9 p.m., produced by International Fireworks and sponsored by Precision Polymer Products, Inc.

Most of the other GoFourth! festivities (see below to learn about Street Fest) will not be staged at the park this year due to access issues caused by the closure of the King Street bridge and the loss of the Memorial Park footbridge, as well as pandemic-related crowd restrictions still in place during the earlier stage of event planning.  Food vendors ranging from dessert treats to empanadas and Latin food will be sold in the park beginning at 6 p.m.  Parking to view the fireworks will be available at the premium viewing area at Memorial Park for $25 per car.  Gates will open for premium ticket holders at 6 p.m.  To purchase tickets, visit www.pottstowngofourth.com or www.eventbrite.com/e/153798855517.

In addition, free parking will be available on the parking lot at Montgomery County Community College’s South Hall, 101 College Drive.  The Colebrookdale Railroad Fireworks Express will depart at 7 p.m. from the Boyertown station, arriving in plenty of time for the show.  Tickets are available at www.colebrookdalerailroad.com.
