UPDATE June 19 Fireworks!!
This weekend is going to be a double header as far as fireworks: Walking by MCU Park on the way to the circus, we passed by the Brooklyn Cyclones banner advertising the fireworks and just realized there’s a show on Saturday, June 19! Catch the fireworks after the Brooklyn Cyclones opening game of the season or the Mermaid Parade and Ball. Either way, Saturday is going to be an even more eventful day than we thought.

Any which way you slice the pizza (with pepperoni please), I love and have always loved Coney Island and the fireworks! I was born and bred in Coney Island! LOL
it dosnt say when it is in july!!!!
yes, it does! Coney’s Friday Night Fireworks are always every Friday from June 17 through September 2 (Labor Day Weekend). It’s a tradition
The list of dates is for fireworks on Saturday and other days scheduled by the Cyclones baseball team
Enjoy the summer!
I know this is a stupid question, but can you see the fireworks at MCU Park from the boardwalk?
I don’t see why not. You don’t have to be in the ballpark to see the fireworks. When I viewed the Cyclones’ Saturday night fireworks, I was standing near Stillwell Ave or behind Nathan’s.
I have a question on the schedule you posted for the Fireworks in Coney Island. You posted Saturday the 10th, do u mean July 9th instead. Please confirm.
Neither 9th nor 10th. You must be looking at the 2010 schedule (the bottom part of the post! The first part of the post is the 2011 schedule.)
So many people were coming to this post originally written in June 2010 and not realizing it was last year’s that I updated the beginning with the 2011 schedule.
I have added asterisks to separate the grafs and highlighted the years in colored font to make it easier to read
Are the fireworks cancelled tonight?
yes they are cancelled due to earlier forecast of thunderstorms. there are three more Fridays for fireworks this summer. enjoy!
About What time will the firework show start on sat aug 25.? Thnx
The Saturday fireworks are sponsored by the BK Cyclones, so it’s when the game ends. You can listen to the game to get an idea when it will be over. Here is info on listening to the game live: http://www.brooklyncyclones.com/fanzone/webcast/ or you can check their twitter feed at https://twitter.com/BKCyclones
