Fireworks Committee

The Falmouth Fireworks Committee is a committee of volunteers. We work to preserve the tradition of the Falmouth Fireworks by coordinating the Fireworks each year and by raising funds through donations, community events and merchandise sales.

The Committee meets monthly during the year, and weekly in May/June. Members are expected to attend meetings regularly, contribute ideas and energy to new initiatives, participate in the planning and accomplishment of fundraising events and activities, and generally support the Committee’s efforts to host one of the best fireworks displays in America. No experience necessary – just a patriotic heart and willingness to help where needed.
