Wright-Patterson Fireworks 2013

June 28, 2013 - gates open at 7 p.m., fireworks beginning at 10 p.m.

Although the Tattoo was cancelled, Wright-Patterson will join with our friends in the community to celebrate with fireworks!

An 18-minute fireworks display will light up the sky on the grounds of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.  Base officials encourage families to arrive early, set up their chairs or blankets around their vehicles and enjoy a relaxing evening leading up to the fireworks.

Public and guests without proper base identification can enter the grounds through one of three gates: the Air Force Museum Gate, located on Springfield Pike in front of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force; the Spinning Road Gate, located at the intersection of Spinning Road and Airway Road; or the Armory Gate, located on Harshman Road between Springfield Pike and Airway Road. These gates will open at 7 p.m. Attendees with proper base identification can enter the base via Gate 19B off National Road and Gate 22B off Colonel Glenn Highway.
