Dear Neighbor,

Thursday is Independence Day! I hope you are able to spend quality time with family and friends and taking advantage of the beautiful days of summer.
As we gear up for festive celebrations, let's remember the importance of firework safety! 
 
Ensure a fun and safe experience by following guidelines: keep a safe distance, never relight duds, and always have water nearby. Let's celebrate responsibly and protect ourselves and our communities.

Norwalk and Westport will put on shows over the next few days. Read below to learn more!
