community spirit through a free and inclusive Independence Day celebration. We believe

that shared experiences are vital to building stronger, more connected communities.

Red, White and Boom! of Bloomington, Indiana began in 2020 as a grassroots response to

the cancellation of Bloomington’s traditional fireworks during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

With no local or state funding, our organization grew from community initiative—and today,

it thrives as a symbol of independence in every sense.

We remain proudly independent of government funding, which ensures we can continue

bringing joy to our city without placing financial strain on local taxpayers or being

vulnerable to budget cuts.
