July 4th Fireworks - Wolfeboro

dlucas10 · 06-30-2014, 08:56 PM

Hello!

I want to apologize in advance for this post. I searched the forums, and I see folks have asked similar topics in past years, but I don't see one being asked this year.

We've never gone to Wolfeboro fireworks and this year will be the first time (hoping the weather holds out). We'll be going via boat, and I'm curious what time folks start to arrive to anchor in the Bay? I've heard mixed times on when you should get there...but I'm curious if there is a time that you won't get a spot, to a time when you arrive too early! I'd like to get between those times!

Thank you!

Dave

I went last year (maybe two ago) and it starts getting busy about 20~30 min before start. I stayed just outside the bay and it was so much easier to get home at the end. Keep alert on your way out. The amount of idiots I encountered was astonishing. Many had no concept or regard for others as they pass 10' off your side at a speed that creates the largest wake possible!

I know this isn't your question, but best advice I can give you is to sit put for another 30min or so after the show to let everyone else fight their way out of there at once.

I usually arrive 30min - 1hr before sunset / scheduled time.
