THE GREAT BONAC FIREWORKS SHOW:
The Great Bonac Fireworks Show is a three-decade Long Island tradition of staging a dynamic midsummer fireworks show for residents of East Hampton, New York and our visitors The event is staged each year over Three Mile Harbor at East Hampton. The tradition almost faded into history, but in 2009, the East Hampton based Clamshell Foundation began reviving the popular event.

Bonac traditionally refers to an area called Springs (located in East Hampton, NY). Many of the original Bonac families in Springs were among the very early settlers of the town, having come from England, possibly Kent or Dorchester, Dorset, in the 1600s and 1700s. Bonackers made their living as baymen, fishermen, and farmers. Clams and clamming -- both hard shell and soft shell -- were at the heart of Bonac culture and cuisine.
FIREWORKS BY GRUCCI The Gruccis of New York will stage the fireworks production. They are a fifth-generation, family-owned and operated company on Long Island, New York with production and distribution facilities in Virginia.
