The fireworks show might go on after all.

A Monday deadline passed for a sponsor to come forward to fund the annual July 3 fireworks in Veterans Park, but Milwaukee County Parks officials were in talks Tuesday with potential partners, spokesman Ian Everett said.

An announcement will come in mid-April, Everett said. Meanwhile, nothing is confirmed.

U.S. Bank previously sponsored the show but announced 2018 would be its last year. In February, County Parks officials asked the public to drum up a new sponsor, as no one had come forward until then.

The 45-minute show, launched from two barges on Lake Michigan, costs about $350,000 to put on, Everett said.
