Fireworks Video Clips

Below are two FULL SIZE video clips showcasing a couple portions of 2009 year's 30 minute long fireworks.

Each .wmv format video clip is a large (over 10mb) file, so a safe bet is to "Right click" and "Save as" to your hard drive.

Clip #1 is a VERY unique oredock "waterfall" fireworks display.

Clip #2 is the grand finale & the pyrotechs signature "bow to the crowd"

Special Thanks to John Bichler, owner of Gallagher Marine Construction

John graciously donated his crane and 90ft x 40ft barge along with dozens of hours of his own time so that this year's fireworks could be even more spectacular than ever.
 

The Marquette Area 4th of July Committee is a 501[c]3 nonprofit organization.
Our group is not connected with, or part of any branch of government.
We are made up entirely of community volunteers who work year round to plan, fundraise and organize the Marquette Area's 4th of July parade and fireworks.

The total cost of our parade and fireworks is well over $30,000 and is funded entirely by donations. (And, to a small extent, parade entry fees). Your help and support are much appreciated.
