🎆 This is what community looks like. 🎆

The East Helena fireworks show is not just about the fireworks.

It is families loading up lawn chairs. Kids asking, “Is it starting yet?” Friends saving spots. Neighbors waving from across the street. Radios playing. The first boom echoing across town. And everyone looking up at the same Montana sky.

This tradition happens because our community makes it happen.

Thank you to every sponsor, donor, volunteer, business, family, and supporter who helped bring tonight’s show to life.

🎆 **Thank You, Big Sky Fireworks!** 🎆

A huge thank you to **Big Sky Fireworks** for the incredible work they put into bringing tonight’s show to life.

A fireworks show like this does not just happen when the first shell lights up the sky. It takes planning, setup, safety, timing, precision, long hours, and a crew that knows how to turn a dark Montana sky into something unforgettable.

Big Sky Fireworks is the team behind the booms, the color, the sparkle, and those moments where the whole crowd goes quiet right before the next burst lights up the night.

And let’s be honest — they know how to put on the kind of show that makes your chest vibrate. 🎇

Thank you, Big Sky Fireworks, for helping us create a celebration our community will remember.

We cannot wait to look up together tonight! 🇺🇸🎆

Their support helps cover not only the fireworks themselves, but also the licensing, permits, tax and regulatory requirements, marketing, mailers, posters, design, and all the behind-the-scenes details it takes to bring this celebration to life.

Community traditions like this happen because businesses like Town Pump continue to show up, give back, and invest in the people and places they serve.

Thank you, Town Pump, for helping us light up the East Helena sky and make this celebration possible for our whole community! 🇺🇸🎇

🇺🇸 **Honoring Those Who Serve** 🇺🇸

As we celebrate tonight with fireworks, family, and community, we also pause to remember why these freedoms mean so much.

The ability to gather, celebrate, speak freely, worship freely, build our lives, raise our families, and come together as a community has been protected by generations of brave men and women who answered the call to serve.

To our veterans, active-duty military members, reservists, National Guard members, and their families — thank you.

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your commitment to preserving the freedoms we celebrate tonight.

As the fireworks light up the East Helena sky, may they remind us not only of celebration, but also of gratitude. 🇺🇸🎆

🇺🇸 **Celebrating 250 Years** 🇺🇸

Today, as we gather for the East Helena fireworks show, we are celebrating more than just a night of lights in the sky.

We are celebrating **250 years of American history**, the freedoms we cherish, the communities we build, and the people who continue to show up for one another.

Here in East Helena, this tradition has always been about more than fireworks. It is about families spreading out blankets, kids waiting for the first boom, neighbors waving to each other, and a community coming together under one big Montana sky.

We are so proud to be part of this celebration, and we are grateful for every sponsor, donor, volunteer, business, and community member who helped make tonight possible.
