All eyes will be on the Cayuga Lake waterfront Monday night as the Ithaca Rotary Club hosts its community fireworks celebration, continuing the unofficial tradition of not-on-the-fourth fireworks shows in the city.

The event at Stewart Park begins at 6 p.m. with live music featuring the Jeff Love Band and many popular local food trucks, including Silo Food Truck, Sweet Melissa’s Ice Cream Shop, On the Street Pita, and Copper Horse Coffee. The Trumansburg Rotary Club is also hosting a chicken barbecue.

Fireworks are set for 9:45 p.m. and will be visible from many locations around Ithaca and the southern end of Cayuga Lake. Elevated lookouts are a great way to view the fireworks, while boaters take to the lake for a unique view.

"The City of Ithaca is delighted to partner with the Rotary Club of Ithaca and continue the time-honored tradition of community fireworks for residents and visitors to our town," Mayor Svante Myrick said. "This year's edition promises to be bigger and better than ever."

The net proceeds of all donations the night of the show, beforehand at multiple locations and on the Ithaca Rotary Community Fireworks website help support the organization's Community Grants program.

Vehicle access to Stewart Park will be restricted the day of the event. Parking is available at Ithaca High School with TCAT bus shuttles to and from the park. Safety and security services are being provided by Bangs Ambulance, Ithaca Police and Fire departments, and the Tompkins County Sheriffs.

"Community fireworks shows are a cherished tradition in Ithaca, and Rotary and the city are proud to continue that legacy," said Dale B. Johnson, president of the Rotary Club of Ithaca.
