Since the Ithaca Community Fireworks were last held, more stringent state regulations for large public gatherings have come into effect, including requirements that mean the Ithaca Rotary Club is no longer able to be the main organizer and sponsor of the Fireworks. Thank you to all the community partners and sponsors who have made prior years such a success. We are proud to have been the steward of this important community event for several years, and Rotarians look forward to working with agencies or government offices with the risk management capacity and willingness to carry the event forward.
