New this year to the fireworks show

• Expanded and relocated Kids Area to include a Dunk Tank, Waterslide, inflatables and more,now in Leicht Memorial Park.
• Sanimax Latin Stage is BACK by demand for another year! This year though, the stage has been moved to accommodate the larger crowds. You’ll find the stage adjacent to the Hampton Inn, at the intersection of Main St and N. Adams St.
• We’ll be combining two amazing On Broadway events into one, with the addition of the Levitt AMP Green Bay Music Series stage located in the parking lot of the Neville Public Museum. Normally a weekly Sunday series during the summer months, we’ve decided to bring the energy of the Levitt AMP series to Festival Foods Fire Over The Fox fireworks show! This stage will have all original music artists.
• There is an additional beverage area for event attendees this year! Along with the three beverage tents spread across the event footprint, attendees can stop by the Container Bar located in Leicht Park.
