Commerce Bank Presents "Celebrate America" Fireworks Display and Concert on June 30

Commerce Bank and the renowned Grucci family are teaming up again this year to present a "Celebrate America" fireworks display on the evening of Saturday, June 30, at Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park, announced Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi. The event will also feature a special musical program with Michael Cavanaugh, who starred in the Broadway show "Movin' Out," featuring the music of Billy Joel.

The 23-minute fireworks display requires four days of set-up and the efforts of 11 pyrotechnicians. "This is a world-class fireworks program featuring an electronically fired computer-generated script and a choreography between the music and the fireworks," says producer Philip Butler.

The event is free but tickets must be obtained at Commerce Bank branches on Long Island while supplies last. The gates will open at 6 p.m., rain or shine, with music and fireworks beginning at 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., respectively.

The Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre is located near parking fields 6 and 6A in Eisenhower Park. Special accommodations are available for disabled patrons, including reserved parking, easily accessible restrooms, and a convenient reserved location on the hill. Assistive hearing devices are available for the hearing impaired. 

There is no formal seating at Lakeside Theater, so concert-goers are urged to bring folding chairs. If weather conditions appear threatening, call (516) 572-0355 after 7 p.m. for updated performance information.
