Reflections gleaming off the river and dazzling the valley with explosions of color, there's nothing quite like the City of Madison's Firework Extravaganza. 

Celebrate the 4th of July at the City of Madison Firework Extravaganza brought to you by Arvin Sango! Shot-off from a barge in the middle of the river, this display is one that has been lighting-up our river front for years and is always a show-stopper, so come enjoy the festivities! 

At 10 PM on July 5 the city will host the annual firework show on the Ohio River. This event is in conjunction with the local Madison Regatta festival races happening July 4 - July 6.
