Light up the Sky donation effort underway

FORT MADISON - The weather is getting warmer, and planning has begun for the 2023 Fourth of July fireworks display in Fort Madison!  This year marks the 15th year that Fort Madison Partners, the combined efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development, Beautification Foundation and FM SIRRC, will coordinate the event.  To say the least, we are excited to continue to offer the area’s finest fireworks show as it reflects off the Mighty Mississippi!  And, yes, the fireworks will be shot off from Riverview Park, allowing the community to enjoy a wonderful display right on the mighty Mississippi.
Approximately $20,000 is needed each year just for the fireworks alone, not counting any additional event expenses. 
It takes the work of many to create this spectacular celebration. The fireworks display depends on the financial support of our community, no matter how big or small a donation. We encourage each individual or business to please consider contributing to help make 2023’s fireworks display the best it can be.
Please send or drop off your contribution to:
Fort Madison Partners
614 7^th Street
Fort Madison, IA 52627
All contributions of $1,000 or more will be featured with a photo in the Daily Democrat and Pen City Current and a listing of all contributors will be mentioned in a final Thank You.
This year’s firework display is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, July 4^th in Riverview Park.  There will be a rain date, should we need it, for July 5th.     
Thank you in advance for your contribution and support of the 2023 Light Up The Sky This 4^th of July fireworks display!
