that sucks. its one of my favorite festivals. really small and cozy... Damn Jets taking all the money!"

Can someone please let me know if the fireworks festival is happening?

Also, are most people going to that OR the welcome beer garden because they are both on August 30? It's a tough choice...

Better than fireworks!

If you go to the Beer Garden party, drink a bunch of beer and then rub your eyes really hard, you can see firworks. So I say go to the Beer Garden Party and get the best of both worlds.
