Fireworks

For over 100 years, the Main Beach Fireworks show has been a true staple of summer in East Hampton, and for over 80 years, the East Hampton Fire Department has been the proud stewards of this show. Originally hosted on the 4th of July by our veterans after World War I, the fireworks show was the culmination of events in the Village that included baseball games and dances and would draw crowds from near and far.

“Originally hosted on the first 4th of July after World War I by local veterans.”

Local merchants stepped in to help run the show as it increased in scope, led by Mr. Felix Dominy, a successful Main St. merchant and arguably the most revered Chief of the East Hampton Fire Department. Chief Dominy soon enlisted the Fire Department to manage the show which has been held annually at Main Beach, save for a few years when it was held over the Bay.
