Support Lake Ripley's Fireworks Legacy

For the past 30 years, Rick Calacci has lit up the skies over Lake Ripley with a fireworks show that has become a beloved tradition for families, friends, and generations of lake lovers. Year after year, he’s poured his heart, time, and resources into creating a 4th of July night filled with wonder, nostalgia, and joy. But this tradition can’t continue without support.

Rick has never asked for much—only that people show up and enjoy. Now, he needs our help. The cost of putting on the show has grown, and to keep this decades-long tradition alive, we’re asking those who love the memories to help make more of them.

If Lake Ripley’s fireworks have ever made your child’s eyes widen, sparked your own childhood memories, or simply made you proud to be part of something beautiful, please consider donating. Let’s make sure this show doesn’t fade into the past. Let’s keep lighting up the lake—together.

Fireworks will be Saturday July 5th
