Noblesville is actively preparing for a magnificent 2023 Noblesville Fireworks Festival and has announced details for the free events taking place on Tuesday, July 4 – beginning at 4 p.m. with the Stars & Stripes Forever Parade through Downtown Noblesville. The Noblesville Fourth of July parade, festival, and fireworks display is the longest continuously running celebration in central Indiana and an annual tradition in Noblesville since 1997.
“We are excited to observe our bicentennial during another spectacular Fourth of July celebration,” Mayor Chris Jensen said. “This is always a fun day for my family and our residents, and this year will be even more special as we celebrate 200 wonderful years in our community. This event wouldn’t be possible without the support of a dedicated team of volunteers, employees, sponsors, and partners.”
The day kicks off 30 minutes earlier this year with the annual Fourth of July Parade through downtown Noblesville at 4 p.m. Participants are encouraged to incorporate the city’s bicentennial theme into their parade entry. Registration to participate in the parade is $25 (nonprofits are not charged) and entries must be submitted by June 23. Forms are available at NoblesvilleFireworksFestival.com.
The free Fireworks Festival will take place at Forest Park from 6 to 10 p.m.
The event will include traditional park amenities such as shelters, shade and playgrounds, including the newly remodeled south playground; along with festival attractions like inflatables, a trackless train, balloon twisters and face painters in the Kids Zone. The Teen Zone also will have age-appropriate inflatables, Spyder bungee jump and a rock wall.
For adults, there will be axe throwing and a beer garden.
The Flying Toasters will perform on the main stage from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The festivities will culminate with the annual fireworks show, which will begin at 10 p.m.
In addition to all the events planned, Forest Park also features a limited VIP section where families and friends can purchase tables for the evening. These tables offer up-close seating to the live music performance, an exceptional view of the fireworks, and a great meeting place to safely gather and eat in between activities.
VIP table groups may bring in their own food and drink, participate in a table-decorating contest, and get access to separate VIP restroom options. Tables seat eight people and cost $160. Registration will open to the public at 8:30 a.m. Monday, June 12 online at NoblesvilleFireworksFestival.com. Funds received for VIP section accommodations help defray costs of hosting the community event.
