Riverhead’s annual fireworks show postponed due to weather

The Riverhead Business Improvement District’s annual fireworks show has been canceled due to the rain.

“The weather was just too bad,” said BID past president Ray Pickersgill. “We were told by Bay Fireworks and the Fire Marshal’s office that if the wind was too strong we couldn’t do it. I think the ground is a little shaky because of all the rain, too.”

Ultimately, it was a town fire marshal who made the call, BID vice president Martin Sendlewski said in an email.

The 6 p.m. pre-fireworks concert was canceled earlier Friday, according to the BID.

Mr. Pickersgill said the fireworks will be rescheduled for a later date that has not yet been determined.
