The Whitewater 4th of July Festival Committee is thrilled to announce that fireworks will light up the sky on both Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. over Cravath Lake as part of this year’s celebration.
This spectacular tradition is made possible through the generous support of local businesses and partners. A special thank you goes to Coburn Company for sponsoring this year’s fireworks and to commend their remarkable milestone — 100 years in business. We proudly applaud their century of excellence and impact in the Whitewater area.
We also extend our sincere thanks to DLK Enterprises and the City of Whitewater for their continued sponsorship and ongoing support of the festival. Thanks to their dedication, the festival continues to shine as a highlight of Whitewater’s summer.
As we prepare for this exciting holiday weekend, we’re inviting members of the community to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the magic happens. Volunteers are needed to assist with launching the fireworks barge and other logistics surrounding the festival. We’re especially looking for a local boat owner willing to help tow the barge into Cravath Lake, as well as helping hands ready to be part of the action.
“This festival is a true community effort,” said a representative of the Whitewater 4th of July Committee. “Whether you’re sponsoring, volunteering, or attending, you’re part of something special.”
