St. Helen Fireworks

We appreciate our volunteers! Thank you, Bruce!

💙♻️ A Huge Shout-Out to Our Amazing Bottle Return Volunteers! ♻️💙
Behind every incredible fireworks show is a team of volunteers working hard behind the scenes—and today we want to recognize one very special group.
Thank you to everyone who volunteers to collect the returnable bottles from the trailer behind the Township Hall. These bottles are loaded into personal vehicles, taken to our pole barn to be sorted, and then returned to distributors. It’s a lot of work, and it takes many helping hands to keep the process going.
We have a rotation of dedicated volunteers, so you may not always see the same faces. They stop by at different times throughout the day, quietly doing their part to help raise funds for our community fireworks.
Your time, effort, and dedication make a tremendous difference. Every bottle returned helps keep the St. Helen Fireworks shining bright for our community.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to each and every volunteer! We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️🎆🇺🇸

🍦🎆 I screamed, you screamed, WE ALL screamed for ice cream… and WOW, did our community show up! ❤️🤍💙

Because of everyone who came out for ice cream, St. Helen Realty generously donated $500 to the St. Helen Fireworks Fund. But it gets even better…

🎉 The Snowpackers have stepped up to the plate and MATCHED that donation dollar for dollar! 🎉

💥 That’s $1,000 raised to help keep the skies over St. Helen shining bright for years to come!

To everyone who bought an ice cream cone, shared our posts, volunteered, donated, or simply showed your support—THANK YOU. Every single person made a difference. This is what makes our small town so special. ❤️

Together, we’re keeping the tradition alive, one firework at a time. 🇺🇸🎇

🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 Last night was more than a fireworks show—it was a celebration of freedom. 💥✨

As the first firework lit up the sky, I couldn’t help but become emotional. To many, fireworks are just beautiful colors and loud booms. But to me, every explosion of light represented something much greater. 💙

Each firework reminded me of the brave men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform—those who fought for our freedom, those who continue to serve today, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can gather with our families beneath peaceful skies. 🎖️⭐🙏

We often hear the words, “Freedom isn’t free,” but last night, I truly felt them. ❤️ Every burst of red, white, and blue was a reminder of courage, sacrifice, hope, and the unwavering American spirit. 🇺🇸✨

As patriotic songs filled the air 🎶 and thousands of people stood together looking toward the sky 🌟, I was reminded how incredibly blessed we are to live in a country where we can celebrate, laugh, hug our loved ones, and enjoy the freedoms so many have fought to protect. ❤️🤍💙

Last night wasn’t just about fireworks. 💥 It was about remembering. It was about honoring. It was about being grateful. 🙏

🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🎉🎂

To every veteran, every active-duty service member, every military family, and to those who gave everything for this great nation… thank you. ❤️💙 Your sacrifice is the reason our skies are filled with fireworks instead of fear. 🦅✨

May we never take our freedom for granted. 🙏🇺🇸

God Bless our military. God Bless America. ❤️🤍💙🦅🎆🎇

Thank you for keeping St. Helen safe during all of our 4th of July celebrations, especially during "The Best Show in the North" fireworks display. Managing the crowds, traffic, and pedestrian zones is no easy task, but you all make this massive event run seamlessly every single year.We certainly appreciate each and every one of you for your hard work, dedication, and for keeping our community safe while we celebrate. Thank you for all you do! 🇺🇸✨

🎆 **Celebrate Safely This Fourth of July!** 🇺🇸

As you celebrate Independence Day, Richfield Township Public Safety reminds everyone to enjoy fireworks responsibly and follow Michigan law.

Here are a few important reminders:

🎇 **Only use consumer fireworks during the legal dates and times allowed under Michigan law.**

🚫 **Never light fireworks while intoxicated.** Alcohol and fireworks are a dangerous combination. If you've been drinking or using drugs, leave the fireworks to someone who is sober.

🏞️ **Do not light fireworks on public property.** This includes parks, roadways, sidewalks, school property, and other public spaces unless specifically authorized. Fireworks should only be used on property where you have permission.

👨‍👩‍👧 Keep children and pets at a safe distance, and never allow young children to handle fireworks.

Let's all do our part to keep Richfield Township safe while celebrating our nation's independence. Have a fun, safe, and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎆

🎆 **Happy July 3rd!** 🎆

If you're heading out to enjoy the **St. Helen's Fireworks** this evening, get ready for a great night of celebrating with family, friends, and our community!

🌞 **A quick reminder:** The forecast calls for **very hot temperatures**, so please take extra precautions to stay safe in the heat.

💧 **Tips to stay cool and hydrated:**
• Drink plenty of water throughout the evening—even if you don't feel thirsty.
• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Find shade whenever possible and take breaks from the sun.
• Wear a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the heat.
• Limit sugary or alcoholic beverages, as they can contribute to dehydration.
• Keep an eye on children, older adults, and pets, as they are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.

🚗 **After the fireworks:** Please remember that thousands of people will be leaving at the same time. Traffic will be heavier than normal, so plan for extra travel time, be patient, and drive safely. A little courtesy goes a long way.

❤️ Let's all do our part to make this a fun and safe evening by treating one another with kindness and respect. Whether you're walking, driving, or waiting to exit the event, a smile, a wave, and a little patience can make the experience better for everyone.

Have a wonderful evening, stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy the spectacular fireworks! 🎇🇺🇸!
