The fireworks in Jaffrey New Hampshire are amazing. I had the opportunity to go to them on 8/20/11. The price to get in is a bit much but it's well worth it. These fireworks are put on by Atlas which is a well known international pyrotechnics company. Atlas has several locations but is originally out of Jaffrey New Hampshire.

The festival of fireworks is located at the Jaffrey Municipal-Silver Ranch Airport right off of route 124. The gates open at 4pm to get in and you want to arrive at or around that time. The town of Jaffrey always has them on the 3rd Saturday in August. The fireworks happen rain or shine so come prepared.

The parking at the airport is on a first come first serve basis. There are about 30,000 people that will be there. Once you are parked you'll be blocked in so you cannot leave until everyone leaves after the fireworks. There are a few other parking lots near the airport that people rent out. There's no parking on the street when this event happens.

The ticket prices for 2011 are as follows. For walk-in tickets it'll cost $6 per adult for the advanced sale or $8 per adult the day of the fireworks. For a car pass which is up to a minivan or SUV is $35 for advanced sale or $40 on the day of the fireworks. There is a VIP section that's up to a minivan or SUV is $150 and you can only purchase those in advanced.

Advanced tickets can be purchased at several locations including the Jaffrey Chamber of Commerce. The rest of the prices I will give you are for the day of the fireworks because there is no pre-sale available for these vehicles.

For a 12-15 passenger van it costs $75. For a motorcycle it'll cost $10 per person. For a small camper 20-35 feet it will cost $75. For a medium camper 35-50 feet it will cost $100. For a large camper which is over 50 feet will cost $150. For a coach or school bus that would be $200.

While you're there and waiting for the fireworks to happenwhich will be around 9pm there is a lot of entertainment. They have a skydiving show as well as live music. There are plenty of concession stands Screw-Type Condensing Unit Manufacturers there that sell all kinds of food such as Fried Dough, Ice Cream, French Fries, Steak and Cheese Subs, Pizza, Funnel Cakes, etc. There also are many vendors there selling all kinds of light up toys, bracelets, necklaces, hats, glasses, etc. You will not be bored waiting for the fireworks to start.

You are allowed to bring in your own coolers and food but no alcohol. It is a good idea to bring in your own snacks and sodas. The food isn't that expensive but on a hot day you'll spend a lot more money for drinks then you would if you brought in your own. They say no smoking on the grounds of the airport but many people do. If you are going to smoke bring in something to put your cigarette butts in. You're also allowed to bring in small tents and umbrellas but they must be taken down by 7pm. No pets are allowed.

They have a large group of portable Bathrooms there for you to use. They even have an outside faucet area to wash your hands Heat Pump Unit Manufacturers under. I found the portable restrooms to be pretty clean. After the fireworks you will wait an hour or longer to get out. They let the people in the VIP section go first and then the motorcycles. They let ten vehicles go at a time per row. The earlier you arrive there the faster you'll get out due to their parking system. Remember, they are trying to get thousands of people out at the same time. The police officers do a very good job at directing traffic.

I recommend that everyone in this area goes to these fireworks at least once. These are amazing and just as good as Boston's in my opinion. I would like to give credit to the Jaffrey Chamber Of Commerce website for providing me with the ticket prices, rules, and where to purchase your tickets in advance. Remember, this information I gave covers this years 2011 fireworks. Information may change for following years so be sure to visit jaffreychamber.com for up to date information.
