Whoop-Up Days spotlight: Fireworks Finale presented by West Coast Amusements

A tradition like no other lights up the summer skies on Saturday night as Whoop-Up Days concludes with the Fireworks Finale presented by West Coast Amusements. New this year, the fireworks will be shot from just east of the Midway, creating new great viewing areas as the show will be centered over the Midway. The fireworks begin at 11 p.m.

“Whoop-Up Days is about bringing the community together and there is something really special about coming together to watch a fireworks show,” says Paul Kingsmith, Director, Event Development, Excite Lethbridge. “Whether you are stepping out from the Rodeo Cabaret, taking in the show from the midway, or watching them provide the ultimate exclamation mark on the Whoop-Up Days Stage, there is not much better than a late-summer fireworks display shared as a community.”

Organizers note, the Fireworks Finale has long been generously supported by West Coast Amusements, which is described as one of Canada’s top entertainment companies and is a long-time partner of Whoop-Up Days.
