At the center of this wild activity is the squonkcordion, a massive musical instrument powered by enormous bellows topped by towering tuba bells. At the climax of the performance, Squonk invites the audience to play this foghorn organ, welcoming them to experience the joy of a brass band and the fireworks of community.”

The performances take place on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., and there will also be an experiential and interactive show at 4:00 p.m.

Free shuttle service available

Since parking is limited in Bridgewater, the event management recommends the free shuttle service.

There are two pick-up and drop-off points:

• Brady’s Run Ice Arena, which leads to the former Wright Auto Dealership on Route 51. Since the north and south lanes of Route 51 are closed in this area, pedestrian traffic is permitted up to the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

• New Brighton Wastewater Treatment Plant, 2200 Concord St., New Brighton.

• Parking is available on the treatment facility’s green area. The shuttle will take you past the Veterans Memorial Bridge (Route 65).

Shuttles will run from 3:00 p.m. until 30 minutes after the fireworks show. Depending on traffic, shuttles are expected to run every 10-15 minutes. There is a handicap accessible shuttle and handicap parking available at each location.
