Fireworks at Dusk

Capping another great evening of Summer Fete fun is the annual fireworks display. It starts around dusk – shortly after 10 p.m. 

The pyrotechnics this year will continue our tradition as one of the best and biggest fireworks shows in the state. Bloomington's fireworks displays are one of the few to feature 10-inch shells!

Look towards the Hyland Lake Ski Jump from virtually anywhere around the event site to see this spectacular aerial display launched from Chalet Road.

Summer Fete features culinary delights for almost any taste. There are old favorites, classic festival options and some new choices this year!
