Star Spangled Springfield
Tower Square Proud to Sponsor Star Spangled Springfield!
Downtown Springfield will be alive with the sights and sounds of fireworks and patriotic music on Wednesday, July 4th, as the MassMutual Star Spangled Springfield celebration ushers in Independence Day 2007. Thousands are expected to converge on downtown Springfield to enjoy the celebration.
This year in recognition of the men and women in the United States military there will be a special program featuring comments from US Army SGT Mark Ecker, II, of East Longmeadow, who lost both legs this year while stationed in Iraq. The program is set to begin at 7:15pm on the steps of City Hall, followed by a concert by the United States Air Force Liberty Pops.
Later in the evening spectators will fill Riverfront Park to enjoy the colorful Grucci Fireworks to be launched from the Memorial Bridge at 9:30pm. The fireworks will have a musical simulcast on MIX 93.1 FM.
The entire event is produced by the Spirit of Springfield. To make a donation to the Fireworks Fund, send a check or money order made out to the Spirit of Springfield at 101 State Street, Suite 220, Springfield, MA 01103.
Tower Square is proud to be one of the sponsors of the MassMutual Star Spangled Springfield.
