FIREWORKS FUND
Sheridan's 4th of July fireworks display is funded entirely by community donations. Each year, the Fireworks Fund helps cover the cost of a safe, professional fireworks show at Biddle Memorial Park.
​
In 2025, the fireworks package we selected cost $13,500. For 2026, due to the special anniversary and higher demand, that same package has increased to $19,000, which does reflect rising costs across the industry for materials, labor, and safety requirements.
​
Every contribution to the Fireworks Fund goes directly toward covering these costs and ensuring the continuation of the long-standing community tradition. Donations of all sizes play an important role in keeping the Fourth of July celebration possible.
