Recent severe storms and tornado activity impacted portions of the Fox Valley region, including Menasha, Neenah, and neighboring communities. Our thoughts remain with everyone affected as cleanup and recovery efforts continue.
"We recognize that many local families, businesses, and communities are facing challenges in the aftermath of these storms," said PGI leadership. "We are grateful for the efforts of first responders, utility crews, public works teams, and volunteers who are helping their neighbors recover. At this time, there are no changes to the PGI Convention or public fireworks festival schedule."
The PGI Convention is one of the world's premier pyrotechnics events, drawing fireworks enthusiasts, professionals, and spectators from across the United States and around the globe.
