As 2024 comes to a close, Northstar Fireworks of East Montpelier will light up the night sky over the Burlington waterfront. For decades, Northstar has been ringing in the New Year with breathtaking displays that captivate the crowd. Each show features a stunning array of color bursts, carefully choreographed for maximum impact. The spectacle builds toward a grand finale, showcasing an exciting mix of sizes, effects, and sounds, including some of their largest and highest-quality fireworks shells. It’s sure to ring in the New Year with a bang!
But the celebration doesn’t end there—right after the fireworks, Cirque de Fuego will take over, fanning the flames with their fiery dance moves and continuing the tradition of the Highlight Champ Burn.
If you are at the Waterfront Park during Highlight and need a pick-me-up, our variety of food and drink vendors have you covered. Grab a bite to eat from Southern Smoke BBQ , La Chapina Guate , Glory Burger , Maharaja Spice , and Sustainable Kitchen. Drink options will be available as well from The Hyde Away, featuring options by Foam Brewers, Titos Handmade Vodka and Citizen Cider.
Programming at Waterfront Park is presented by The Pomerleau Family Foundation.
