Batavia’s Sky Concert!




For more than 50 years, Batavia has hosted one of the most celebrated 4th of July fireworks celebrations in the area — the “Sky Concert.” But the celebration begins much earlier.

From 5 pm until until the show starts at 9:30 pm, get a taste of Batavia from Savor-the-Flavor food vendors in Engstrom Park (Millview Drive and West Main Street). At 7 pm, the band Gallery will take center stage and entertain you. There will be a welcome from Mayor Schielke at 9:15 pm and then the show begins.

For complete details, parking instructions and weather updates, visit www.bataviafireworks.org.

The “Sky Concert” itself is paid for with private donations and fundraisers under the auspices of the Batavia ACCESS Committee. Many, many thanks to:
Platinum Sponsors: Rotary Club of Batavia; Flinn Scientific, Inc.
Gold Sponsors: Batavia Chamber of Commerce
Silver Sponsors: Avenue Chevrolet; Scott Queen, Agent, State Farm Insurance
and to the City of Batavia for providing police and fire safety
