Batavia is hosting its annual fireworks sky concert on Monday, July 4, 2022. Observation areas for the show will be at Engstrom Park on Main Street at Millview Drive and the Batavia High School athletic practice fields between Main Street and W. Wilson Street. As a reminder to the public, alcoholic beverages and dogs are prohibited from all event observation areas. Fireworks and sparklers are strictly prohibited within the city limits. 

There will be food vendors on site beginning at 5 p.m. at Engstrom Park. The fireworks show will start at 9:30 p.m. and conclude at 10 p.m. At the conclusion of the show, motorists leaving the event area or traveling through the Westside of Batavia will experience significant traffic delays. 

Prior to the show, Main Street will be closed to all vehicular traffic between Feece Drive and Pitz Lane once the public parking lot at Batavia High School (Main Street) and the handicap parking lot at Batavia Covenant Church are full. At that time, all traffic will be detoured to Wilson Street.
