On June 17^th, 2022 the Festival of the Fish Committee will be hosting fireworks on the detached break wall at the entrance to the Vermilion River. Due to the safety of this event, we are asking spectators and boaters to review the map of the area, and please be aware of the safety zones that will be set in place.

            The west entrance to the Vermilion River will not be accessible once the fireworks are placed on the break wall.  We are asking that boaters use the east entrance to navigate both in and out of the Vermilion River.

            There will be complete river closure starting at 9:30 pm until 11:00 pm or later. The fireworks display is set to begin at 10:00 pm.  There will be five to six temporary buoys set up 500’ around the detached break wall and boaters are permitted to watch the fireworks show on the north side of these buoys.  Both attached piers the one by Main Street Beach and the other by Lagoon Beach will be off-limit to spectators.

            There will be no parking from Huron Street to Main Street Beach except for emergency vehicles only. This area will be blocked off for Thursday, June 16^th at midnight until the fireworks display is over, which is estimated at 11:00 pm on Friday, June 17^th.  Police will enforce this by towing your vehicle at the owner’s expense.  Fireworks will be visible from the lake outside the safety zone (see map), Main Street Beach, and Festival area.

            Thank you in advance for understanding as we understand there may be a few inconveniences.  Most importantly relax and enjoy the fireworks display at the 2022 56th Annual Festival of the Fish.  If you have any questions please email the Vermilion Chamber at info@vermilionohio.com

            Sincerely,

            The Festival of the Fish Committee
