I love them!! I tried taking some pics during last year’s show. Fireworks are tough to shoot. But practice makes perfect (hopefully!) so I tried again this year.

We arrived a little later than usual this year so we had a different viewing area. We still had a nice spot right next to the water on the sand.

The show was different this year. For the first time (that I know of), they played the Star Spangled Banner from the island before the fireworks show. That was a nice touch, although it was tough to hear through all of the chatter on the mainland.

After the song ended, the show began.


After what seems like a very nice display, the fireworks stop. A woman near us started talking about how nice the show was. But it wasn’t over yet. The people setting off the fireworks on the island want to know if us on the mainland are ready for the finale.

Slowly the audience started clapping and the yelling. It grew in volume. Then we heard a lone male on the mainland yell, “Git er done!“.

The island fireworks crew must have been impressed – they started the finale.


Pictures do not do the Copper Harbor fireworks justice. If you have never seen them before, I highly recommend that you try to catch them! Copper Harbor may be small, but they sure know how to wow everyone with their fireworks display.
