Numerous cities and towns, including Stamford, New Canaan, Fairfield, and Greenwich, announced on Friday, July 5, that they have canceled fireworks scheduled for Saturday, July 6, to Sunday, July 7.

All the details remain the same, such as time and place, just the date has changed.

"Safety is always our top priority in making any decision to postpone," said Fairfield First Selectman William Gerber. "The weather for Sunday is expected to be rain-free, and thus a much better day to be on the beaches or on boats on the water viewing the fireworks."
