4th of July Fireworks are Back in Kingston, NY

O’Connor & Partners and Ole Savannah to Sponsor 4th of July Fireworks for a third year, joined by new sponsor Brickmen Kitchen + Bar!

Fireworks viewing is open to the public!

Kingston, NY – June 17, 2024 – O’Connor & Partners, PLLC and Ole Savannah Southern Table & Bar are teaming up to sponsor Kingston’s Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular for the third consecutive year, joined for the first time by new sponsor Brickmen Kitchen + Bar. The fireworks will kick off on the evening of Thursday, July 4th, 2024.

O’Connor & Partners, PLLC is an award-winning personal injury law firm with offices in Kingston, Saugerties, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, and Albany. O’Connor & Partners, PLLC, represents injured people throughout New York State and nationwide. Ole Savannah is a renowned American-style restaurant on the Kingston, NY waterfront, and Brickmen Kitchen + Bar is a modern American eatery in historic Uptown Kingston.

Fourth of July fireworks on the Rondout Waterfront have been a tradition in Kingston since the 1990’s. Over the years, the festivities have taken on many different formats and were sadly on hiatus during the pandemic, but now have returned. This is the third year in a row that O’Connor & Partners and Ole Savannah have co-sponsored this community-favorite event. Brickmen Kitchen + Bar will join as a new sponsor this year. In the past, fireworks were launched from the Wurts Street Bridge; however, that changed last year, with the bridge undergoing continued repairs. This year, the fireworks will be launched from the same location as last year, on a barge in the Rondout Creek Inlet on the east side of the John T. Loughran bridge. The best viewing of the fireworks will be on the Rondout Landing near the Hudson River Maritime Museum and Ole Savannah.

“The fireworks display is one of the highlights of the year for us because it brings together the community in a very special way. We are honored to sponsor the event again this year,” said Dave Amato, owner of Ole Savannah and Brickmen.

“O’Connor & Partners, PLLC is proud to sponsor the City of Kingston’s fireworks again this year. We look forward to celebrating the nation’s Declaration of Independence with our whole community,” said Joseph O’Connor, Attorney at O’Connor & Partners.
