The Trenton City Council on April 6 unanimously approved a $65,000 contract with Ace Pyro to stage the city’s fireworks display on Saturday, June 27, 2026, with a rain date of Sunday, June 28.
Parks and Recreation Director Mr. Beaker told the council the vendor had provided reliable service in prior years and staff requested a waiver of the standard bidding process. Council members questioned a discrepancy in the packet about funding; staff clarified the total is $65,000, with $50,000 drawn from the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and $15,000 from the general fund.
The display will be staged from a barge moved to the south near the foot of West Road, near the festival stage. Council approved the contract and the event date unanimously.
