On June 14th 2024 the Festival of the Fish Committee will be hosting fireworks on the detached break wall at the entrance to the Vermilion River. Due to the safety of this event we are asking spectators and boaters to take a look at the map of the area and please be aware of our safety zones that will be set in place.
The west entrance to the Vermilion River will not be accessible once the fireworks are placed on the break wall. We are asking that boaters use the east entrance to navigate both in and out of the Vermilion River.
There will be complete river closure starting at 9:30pm until 11:00pm or later. The fireworks display is set to begin at 10:00pm. There will be five to six temporary buoys set up 500’ around the detached break wall and boaters are permitted to watch the fireworks show on the north side of these buoys. Both attached piers the one by Main Street Beach and the other by Lagoon Beach will be off limit to spectators.
There will be no parking from Huron Street to Main Street Beach except for emergency vehicles only. This area will be blocked off for Thursday, June 13th at midnight until fireworks display is over estimated at 11:00pm on Friday, June 14th. Police will enforce this by towing your vehicle at owner’s expense. Fireworks will be visible from the lake outside the safety zone (see map), Main Street Beach and Festival area.
Thank you in advance for understanding as we understand there may be a few inconveniences. Most importantly relax and enjoy the fireworks display at the 2024 58th Annual Festival of the Fish. If you have any questions please email the Vermilion Chamber at info@vermilionohio.com
