Beaver County, PA – March 31 – The much-anticipated Boom on the Bridge, Visit Beaver County’s addition to PUSH Beaver County’s Boom fireworks festival, is making an exciting move to Downtown Bridgewater! This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, bringing thousands of visitors to experience an unforgettable celebration in a brand-new setting.
The past two years, Boom on the Bridge has been held on the Veterans Bridge with a footprint spanning Route 51 and Riverside Drive. “From the very beginning, our vision for Boom on the Bridge was to rotate locations every two to three years,” said Tony Caltury, Director of Beaver County Recreation and Tourism. “By doing so, we can bring the excitement of this event to different communities throughout the County, ensuring that more businesses, residents, and visitors can experience the festival’s positive impact.”
Beaver County Boom has been a staple of Beaver County’s summer festivities, attracting over 10,000 attendees for a full day of family-friendly fun. This year, Boom on the Bridge will unite with Bridgewater’s beloved annual Summerfest, merging two vibrant celebrations into one unforgettable event. By joining forces, an expanded festival experience offers more entertainment, activities, and increased connectivity to adjacent events throughout the County. The move to Downtown Bridgewater is a natural progression that brings the festival closer to the fireworks and Boom Headquarters, offers a fresh location with enhanced viewing areas for the award-winning Zambelli Fireworks display, and a vibrant atmosphere for festival goers to explore.
“The Borough of Bridgewater has been fantastic to work with, and their support has been instrumental in bringing this event to the heart of the community,” said Commissioner Daniel Camp. “Their commitment to making this a successful and welcoming experience for everyone is truly commendable.”
Visitors can enjoy the best of both events from a diverse lineup of live music, local food vendors, artisans, family activities, and of course, the annual, award-winning fireworks display over the river to cap off the night, ensuring a breathtaking display for all in attendance. Vendors who have previously participated in Bridgewater’s Summerfest, and other interested vendors should apply at www.boomonthebridge.com.
“We are thrilled to bring Boom on the Bridge to Downtown Bridgewater,” said Caltury. “This new location allows us to expand the event, involve more local businesses, and create an even more immersive experience for residents and visitors alike.”
