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.
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.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY DONATION IS GOING TO THE 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS SHOW?
A: Every donation we receive is split into 3 financial buckets. Fourth of July, Harvest Moon, and the General Fund. Sheridan's 4th of July fund automatically receives 50% of all funds raised.
Also, when you make a donation through the fireworks fund link, your donation is earmarked for exactly that. You may also notate "Fireworks Fund" on our general donation fund form for online or in person donations.
Q: WHO IS IN CHARGE OF SETTING OFF FIREWORKS?
A: Historically, the Sheridan Fire Department was tasked with the fireworks show. Now, Sheridan Events has taken on the responsibility of fundraising for and hosting the fireworks show.
This year, we are so thrilled to introduce Burgerhaus to our town! They will be putting on a choreographed show set to music this year at the Sheridan High School football field!
Q: HOW LONG IS THE FIREWORKS SHOW?
A: The goal is a 20 minute show.
Q: WHY IS THE COST SO MUCH HIGHER THIS YEAR?
A: The cost of fireworks has increased for 2026 due to the anniversary of America's Independence. Demand is way up, per our contact at the fireworks company.
Q: CAN I DONATE BY CASH OR CHECK?
A: Yes, you can mail a check to:
THE SHERIDAN EVENTS COMMITTEE
ATTN: DUDLEY DUNLAVEY
P.O. BOX 2
SHERIDAN, IN 46069
Q: WHAT TIME IS THE FIREWORKS SHOW?
A: The fireworks show will begin promptly at 10:15 PM.
Q: WHERE WILL THE SHOW BE THIS YEAR?
A: The show will be set off near the Sheridan High School football field. Families will be able to sit in the stadium seating or behind the fence to enjoy to show! (There will be no parking available at the SMS, this will be a staging area for Burgerhaus and unavailable to the public on this day.)
Q: HOW CAN I HELP?
A: We appreciate any help we can get! To help with the Fireworks Fund, please share our donation link with friends!
