The town of Greenwich has postponed Saturday’s scheduled fireworks because of potential thunderstorms.
The new date is Sunday, July 7.
A press release from the office of Fred Camillo said the decision was reached after his office held a joint meeting with the Dept of Parks & Recreation, Greenwich Police and Fire Departments and Emergency Management Director, Joe Laucella on Friday morning. They reviewed the weather forecast for Saturday before making their decision.
The release said the postponement to Sunday night came after careful review and extensive consideration. The forecast is that there is the potential for thunderstorms throughout the day on Saturday and in the interests of public safety, the decision was made to what a day.
