Annual Fort Totten Independence Day

Fireworks Show

Council Member Vickie Paladino Annual Fort Totten Independence Day Fireworks show was a little
soggy this year, but attendees still enjoyed a beautiful afternoon and concert on Fort Totten! Attendees
enjoyed performances by Chicken Head Rocks and Phil Costa and the Something Special Band while en-
joying gyros, tacos, hotdogs, and more from food trucks.
CM Paladino said “Unfortunately, there will not be a rescheduled date this year - due to budget restraints,
this show had one opportunity to go off. Despite the unfortunate ending, I am so deeply grateful to my staff,
Queens Chamber of Commerce staff, Bayside Historical Society staff, Parks Department staff, Fireworks
by Grucci, and so many more than I can list here. Thank you to everyone who came out, I hope everyone
made it home safely and not too drenched from the rain.”
Join us next year, same time, same place on Thursday, June 26th, 2025, in hopefully better weather!
