Growing up, going to see fireworks were the absolute BEST thing in the world!! Some of the best memories I have are sitting out in our front yard watching them shoot off at the country club.
The sound that you can actually feel in your chest, the smell of the smoke that they leave behind, the beautiful colors that light up the sky- it’s a special experience every single time.
If you have little ones like I do, or a family full of pyromaniacs…you know how much they LOVE fireworks.
And no matter how many boxes of sparklers you bring home from the store or how many bottle rockets and roman candles you smuggle illegally into your neighborhoods (which I clearly have never done and I don’t even know why you would ask?) it’s just not the same.
Here is a list of legitimate fireworks in Beaver County this summer. This way you can catch as many as humanly possible without even having to drive into the city!

The following carnivals/festivals are NOT having fireworks, at least not to my knowledge, but they are absolutely worth checking out:

Beaver County River Regatta
- Dates TBD – Usually the 3rd weekend in August

If you’re feeling adventurous, try participating in some of the County’s most exciting water sports! Between the “Anything that Floats” race and the “Extreme Drag Boat Racing,” you’re sure to find some entertainment while you check out the regatta.
