The City of Saline has scheduled a fireworks show for Saturday, Oct. 9 at Crabtree Field, behind Liberty School.
Activities will begin at 4 p.m., with the fireworks show starting approximately 7:30 p.m.
Children’s activities will include:
There will also be food trucks and music along Thibault Lane.
ACE Pyro LLC, pyrotechnics company out of Manchester, will conduct the fireworks display that includes shells by Yung Feng. The show will consist of more than 1380 shells ranging from 2-5 inches in diameter.
The fireworks show will be coordinated with music playing from an audio system setup for the audience located just east of Crabtree Field.
The "Saline Fall Fireworks Show" is expected to be one of the larger displays in Washtenaw County this year. The show was originally planned for July 4 but moved due to the pandemic.
This year’s fireworks are again being underwritten by Grand Sakwa Homes LLC.
The rain date is Oct. 10.
Residents near the event will receive a letter from the city the week of Sept. 20 reminding them of the accompanying noise factor.
No local streets will be closed for the event. However, Thibault Lane, on the Saline Area Schools campus, will be closed to vehicular traffic, but open to spectators.

Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 26 and low of 15 degrees. Overcast in the morning, light freezing rain in the afternoon, light snow during the evening, clear overnight.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
