welcome to boomtown, usa!
- Does it Cost? No. Thanks to our incredible donors and sponsors and thousands of volunteers our show is FREE!
- Where to Sit: The absolute best place to watch the incredible “in the round” experience is right there in the huge grass field on the east side of the Wamego Recreation Complex. You'll see, hear, and feel what makes the Wamego Fireworks Show unlike any other.
- What to Bring: Radio or personal earbuds to listen to the fireworks soundtrack and amazing patriotic show introduction which is broadcast on B104.7 FM starting at 9:45pm. A blanket and/or lawn chairs for the grass, and ear plugs for any sensitive ears.
- Arrival Time: Arrive early and enjoy the entire evening! Head to the complex shortly after the parade ends for the FREE concert featuring Fort Riley's 1st Infantry Division Rock Band on the main stage starting at 7:30pm. There are multiple food trucks on site with service starting at 4pm. Our popular saying is, “If you arrive after 8:00, you're late!”. Come early, relax, and enjoy the show.
- What Happens After: Stick around for the post fireworks concert! We've worked very hard with local law enforcement and KDOT and have a great traffic plan to get things flowing and and effectively get everyone back out and on the road. The Wamego Fireworks Show is like any other major sporting or spectator event, a little patience and planning goes a long way.
- What NOT to Bring: Alcohol and personal Fireworks are not allowed on any city property, which includes the Recreation Complex, City Park, and the Parade Route. Dogs should not be brought to the Recreation Complex/Fireworks viewing site due to large crowds and loud noise. Personal pop up tents in the grass areas near the fireworks must be taken down by 8:30pm by order of the Fire Department for crowd safety.
