Important Gander Day Update

The Town of Gander advises residents and visitors that, due to the very high fire weather index and heightened wildfire risk across the province, the fireworks display scheduled for Gander Day has been cancelled.

While we recognize this may be disappointing, fireworks represent a small portion - approximately 15 minutes - of what is otherwise a full day of community celebration. Gander Day festivities will continue as planned, with a wide variety of family-friendly activities throughout the afternoon and evening.

Attendees can also look forward to an evening of live music, featuring performances by Neon Dreams, Carolina East, Kellie Loder, and more.

This decision has been made in the interest of public safety, environmental responsibility, and out of respect for the fire crews, forestry personnel, and first responders currently working across the province in challenging conditions.

We appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation, and we encourage everyone to come out, bring their lawn chairs, and enjoy a safe and memorable Gander Day.
