STAMFORD, CT – Mayor David Martin today announced that the City of Stamford and the Stamford Partnership will be sponsoring a fireworks show on Saturday night in conjunction with Soundwaters’ Harborfest. This is the second year the City and the Partnership have sponsored fireworks at Harborfest.

“Harborfest is such a great event celebrating our harbor,” said Mayor Martin. “I can’t think of a better way to end this fun event than with fireworks over the harbor. After spending the day down by the water, I hope families will stay in the area to enjoy the show.”
