Since 1991, Parkway Marina has been the sight of one of the lake’s most anticipated events: A Spectacular Independence Day Fireworks Display! This event was once sponsored and staffed entirely by Parkway Marina in appreciation of customers, friends and neighbors. As the event grew in popularity however, Parkway found that it needed additional personnel to plan and staff the event. After discussions with numerous organizations, the members of the Saunders Volunteer Fire Company came to the rescue!
Since 2001, the SVFC Independence Day Fundraiser with its amazing fireworks display has been planned and staffed primarily by the Saunders Volunteer Fire Company. In 2005, the Virginia Army National Guard and the Virginia Defense Force joined with the SVFC to lend a hand! Following the fireworks’ finale, there is a short moment of silence followed by a brief salute of additional fireworks in memory of the founder of the event, and for those who protect our freedom and our community.
For the hard work their members put into this community event, all funds generated by this event go entirely to the fire company. Without their hard work, this event would not be possible.
We hope you enjoy the fireworks and have a great time participating at the events located on The Point of Parkway Marina. Come Join Us on The Point!
