Onset Fireworks Committee Opens Public Survey for 2027 150th Anniversary
DATELINE — WAREHAM
The Onset Fireworks Committee is asking residents to help shape one of the town's most anticipated traditions, launching a public survey on whether fireworks should be part of Onset's 150th Anniversary celebration in 2027.
TOWN HALL
The committee posted the survey Wednesday morning, inviting community members to weigh in on the future of the fireworks display tied to Onset's sesquicentennial. The survey is live at the town's official website and is open to all residents. The outcome will guide planning decisions for what would be a milestone celebration for the Onset village.
Also noted on the town homepage this week: Town Hall will be closed Wednesday, July 2, with all town offices shut July 3 as well, ahead of the Independence Day holiday. Residents needing in-person services should plan accordingly.
