CIVIC HOLIDAY FIREWORKS A ‘BLAST’ IN GRAVENHURST LAST NIGHT

GRAVENHURST — “What a blast!”

Fireworks at the Muskoka Wharf here last night were worth the wait.

After a fire ban earlier in the summer that cancelled the colourful — if not particularly environmentally-friendly — display, the night sky lit up over Gravenhurst Bay with the lightening loud sound and fury of a war zone.

Well over a 1,000 firecracker fans lined the shoreline and hundreds more floating in boats celebrated the half-way point of the summer for more than 15 minutes Saturday night.

To a round of applause the sight marked a summer glass still half full and put the hot and wet empty glass of July behind us.

The Muskoka Steamships were lit up Saturday night as fireworks returned to Gravenhurst Bay on the Aug. 5 Civic Holiday weekend at Gravenhurst’s Muskoka Wharf.
Crowds ship to shore lined Gravenhurst Bay – including boats in the water – for the 20-minute lightfest that resembled a waterfront war zone.
