FOCCP will raise funds for 2020 Fireworks Display

Friends of Columbus Park (FOCCP) has announced that the non-profit community organization will once again lead the effort to raise the funds necessary to welcome in the 2020 New Year with fireworks on Boston Harbor for the third consecutive year.

Despite the rain the 2019 firework display over Boston Harbor went basically as planned greeted with cheers and honking horns.

Unfortunately the special event was cut a little shot technical difficulty that prevented the final showcase of fireworks.

The New Year’s Eve fireworks wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of local businesses and neighbors.
