The Bay City Fireworks Festival is one of Bay City's finest annual events that begins today and runs through July 5th, 2008 with fireworks every night and entertainment every day.
This spectacular event is enhanced by it's proximity to the Saginaw River, providing great viewing locations all around the park's area, along the river banks and from boats on the river.
Kids of all ages will enjoy the Skerbeck Carnival Midway open daily from 12pm to 12am in Vet's Park. Across the river in Wenonah Park the "Kid's Korner" offers FREE fun for kids.
Adults can try your luck at the nightly Texas Hold'em Tournaments and enjoy the beverage tent. Take a dinner cruise on the Saginaw River and Bay available on the Princess Wenonah ferry and return in time to watch the fireworks.
