This is a press release, presented in the format in which it was sent:

NORWALK, Conn. – The Norwalk fireworks and music concert originally scheduled for tonight, July 3, at Calf Pasture Beach has been postponed until Thursday, July 5 due to forecasted thunderstorms.  The decision was made early in collaboration with various city departments to ensure the safety of the more than 15,000 people who attend the annual event.

“It’s never easy when deciding to postpone such a well-attended event, but after talking with my staff, I felt it was best to make this decision early to give residents and guests plenty of notice,” said Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling.

“I look forward to this event every year, and it was a hard choice to make. However, the most important thing is always the safety of our residents and guests. I hope the public will join us for this wonderful event.”

The same program scheduled for July 3 will be in place for Thursday night.  The festivities will begin with the “The Amazing Andy Show” specifically for children at 5:30 p.m., followed by “Dance to the Music” with DJ Nuzzo at 6 p.m.  At 8 p.m. the band “BonJourney” will take the stage until the fireworks begin at sundown. Music will continue after the fireworks.  Norwalk residents with current Resident/Beach passes can park for free.  Those without a pass must pay a $35 non-resident fee.  No parking signs will be posted on streets around Calf Pasture Beach and motorists who park there might be towed.
