Fireworks on the Bay Postponed – New date and time July 5th @ 9:20pm

Posted on by

Sorry everyone, but the weather has caused us to postpone tonight’s Fireworks.  The storm with multiple lightning is too big and it’s timing doesn’t appear to allow a window for set up and shooting tonight.

The rain date for the show is tomorrow July 5th at 9:20pm. 

In the event that it is still raining tomorrow, the show will have to be cancelled.  So check out the website for future updates.  And pray for no rain tomorrow. 

Thank you for understanding.

Monday July 4th

Parade 10am – Noon @ Cape Story Neighborhood & Park

Fireworks – 9:20pm @ Cape Story Beach

(Rain Date for Fireworks is Tuesday July 5th)

 

PARADE THEME – Cape Story is “Out of this world”

 This year’s parade and brunch will take place from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (noon) on Monday July 4th.  The parade route will start on Beech at the bike path, proceed down Beech to Poinciana, follow Poinciana to Bayberry, turn left on Bayberry and end in the neighborhood park. All bike riders, floats and marchers need to line up for the parade between 9:30am – 9:45am.  Please be careful spilling out onto Shore Drive.  If you have to, line your float up in Bloom’s parking lot and we will work you into the parade as it starts moving.

This year’s parade theme, “Out of this world” received the most votes at the Spring Fling.  Awards will be given for Most Original, Most Patriotic and Best Theme.  The parade will be followed by a brunch in the park. There will also be biscuits, doughnuts, fruit and patriotic tunes. 

As she has done in years past, an ice cream truck will also be provided courtesy of LYNN HUME, RE/MAX Allegiance.

The annual fireworks show will once again be presented by Zambelli Fireworks Internationale. The display will consist of 700 shells and will be launched around 9:20 pm on Monday July 4th from the beach at First Landing State park. The rain date will be Tuesday July 5th at the same time.  Please remember – Storage, handling and use of fireworks without a permit from the Fire Marshal’s Office is a violation of City ordinance 12-43.2 and is a Class 1 Misdemeanor. Class 1 Misdemeanors are punishable by up to a $2500 fine and/or 12 months in jail.  

 Volunteers are still needed for all of the 4th of July events.

  • Brunch set-up, Brunch Clean-up, Brunch servers – Please Arrive at the park at 9:30am to help.
  • Fireworks set-up and clean-up – Trucks and movers are asked to arrive at First Landing at 1:00pm. 
  • Trucks and movers are desperately needed for the fireworks.  Last year we had a great group of people to support this event and it ran very smoothly.  Let’s do it again this year.  It is only about an hour worth of time, so please help.  Please contact Todd Solomon at 667-8533 or todd@sdcc.info

Strong winds, dry conditions and fire resulted in a scary situation for Cape Story and Long Creek Cove residents on Saturday.  Luckily, the wind was blowing in a favorable direction to keep the fire from spreading to Cape Story and Long Creek Cove homes as well as the boats at Marina Shores.  The residents are also thankful that Virginia Beach’s finest firefighters were able to put the fire out in a short period of time without incident.

On Tuesday, August 3, 2010, communities nationwide will be celebrating the “27th Annual National Night Out.”  The goal is to (1) heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, (2) generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts, (3) strengthen neighborhood and police community partnerships, and (4) send a message to the criminals that neighborhoods and the police are united in fighting crime.

Some of the neighborhoods participating in Virginia Beach are:

1st Precinct – Lotus Creek, Ocean Lakes, Red Mill Farm, Shire Village (Buckner Farm), South Shore Estates, Southgate, and Villages at West Neck.

2nd Precinct – Atlantis Apartments, Baycliff, Croatan, Rudee Heights, Seabridge Square, Southall Quarter, Waldon by the Chesapeake, and Wolfsnare Plantation.

3rd Precinct – Bishops Gate, Chesapeake Beach, Cypress Point, Diamond Springs/Gardenwood Park, L&J Gardens, Lake Shores, Little Creek, Summerset Lake Condos, and Thoroughgood Colony.

4th Precinct – Bellamy Plantation, Commons at Princess Anne, Driftide Condos, Fairfield Forest, Framingham Village (College Park), Green Run, Kempsville Lake, Liberty Ridge Townhomes, Salem Woods, and Tivoli Apartments.

Most events begin around 6:30 p.m.

Even if your neighborhood is not having a planned event, we encourage all of the citizens of Virginia Beach to get out and send the message that we are fighting back against crime and drugs.  Leave your porch lights on all night to show your support!
