Fireball 2025

07/14/2025

WOW!!! What a 10 year ride it has been.

In 2015 we thought we knew what we were doing . We quickly learned we did not.

2016 - We were thrown a curveball with Main Street under construction. But the show went on.

2020 - The world stopped with COVID.

2024 - Once again another punch was thrown at us with a very large fire that took all of the firefighters away from the event. But again, the show went on.

2025 - This year we had to make adjustments with the green space being renovated.

There were times when we wondered if all the work was worth it. But once again, the community came out to support us in our best year yet, proving it is, in fact, worth all the work.

You guys, last night was incredible! The Ridgerunners kicked off the night and set the tone for another great Fireball. When the clock struck 9:00 Boogie and the Yo-yoz hit the stage and what can we say, they absolutely killed it! Again!

The support we have had over these 10 years has been absolutely unbelievable. Not only from our amazing sponsors, but from the entire community. This event isn’t just a fundraiser for the Firefighters Association, we do this for all of YOU!

So………..

Let’s do it again next year!! Mark your calendar for Saturday, July 11, 2026. See you then!

We understand there has been some comments about being able to access downtown businesses. We WILL leave access to the businesses, although the street will be closed off. We encourage everyone to still support the downtown business.

Good Morning Fireball fanatics! We have made it to Fireball Saturday! As most of you know Fireball will be a little different this year with the greenspace renovations. The stage will be in the intersection of Main Street and Pleasant Street. We will have entry gates at both East Pleasant and West Pleasant. We appreciate everyone understanding the little change this year and we can't wait to be back next year in the newly renovated Glovik Community Park.

Thank you to these sponsors that help make Fireball the event that it is.
