Thanks to the cooperation of so many, the 2011 Marblehead Fireworks and Harbor Illumination went off beautifully this past weekend and we received a great deal of positive feedback via e-mail, the Marblehead Fireworks Forever Facebook group, and in person.
As always, many people took great shots of the fireworks and I could not possibly post them all here. My favorite photo this year, though, is the following image and we have thankfully received permission from Eyal Oren to publish it here:

At this point I would also like to thank all those who have once again made these Marblehead Fireworks possible: the citizens of Marblehead, mooring owners, yacht clubs, local businesses, banks, Chamber of Commerce, Civic organizations, and all other donors who gave to the fireworks fund; Atlas Pyro for shooting such a fantastic show and contributing to the fund as well; the Boy Scouts as well as residents and clubs around the harbor who helped with the flares; Laurie Willard for donating the moorings for the barge; the civilian boat patrol volunteers who helped secure the safety zone around the barge; all the Marblehead town officials and departments, including Harbormaster, Fire Department, Police Department, Parks & Rec, who all contributed to making this a safe and enjoyable evening; all the members of the Marblehead Fireworks Committee who helped plan and organize the event; and everybody else who contributed to the Fireworks in some other form – without all your help this would not have been possible!
See you all next year for the 2012 Marblehead Fireworks and Harbor Illumination…
