Beverly Farm to host annual fireworks display June 26 in Godfrey
Beverly Farm Foundation will host its annual fireworks display on the evening of Friday, June 26, on its campus in Godfrey at 6301 Humbert Road.
The event is free and open to the public, promising an evening of entertainment, community fellowship, and patriotic celebration with a jump start to America’s 250th birthday celebration.
Attendees are welcome to arrive as early as 8:30 p.m. and are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy a summer evening on the Beverly Farm campus.
Quick Bite Frozen Treats ice cream truck also arrives at 8:30 p.m., offering a variety of frozen treats available for purchase. Guests can choose from a selection of ice cream and frozen desserts priced between $2 and $5 and enjoy refreshments throughout the evening and until the end of the fireworks display.
The highlight of the evening will be a spectacular fireworks display by Fireworks Authority beginning at approximately 9:30 p.m.
Fireworks Authority is the same team that puts on the spectacular shows for the Alton River Dragons.
Best viewing spots for the fireworks will be in the large lawn area along Godfrey Road between Beverly Farm’s Administration Building and the Hardin Apartments.
“One of the things that makes Beverly Farm so special is the opportunity to bring people together,” said Crystal Officer, CEO of Beverly Farm Foundation. “This event allows our residents, families, staff, volunteers, and neighbors to celebrate summer and enjoy an evening of fun, fellowship, and community. We look forward to welcoming everyone to campus for another memorable fireworks celebration.”
Parking will be available throughout the Beverly Farm campus. Guests are asked not to bring personal fireworks, alcoholic beverages, or weapons onto the property.
