An annual favorite for locals and visitors alike, hundreds of flares illuminate the beaches of Onset Bay. Don't be late, you'll miss it!

Saturday, August 24, 7:30 -9:30 p.m.

Live music to be announced

Circus Dynamics will be putting on a fire dancing show on the main beach to the right of the Pier from 8:45-9:15

The Onset Fire horn will blow once at 9:00 to signal the lighting of the flares. They will burn for 30 minutes.

FREE but donations are welcome! Volunteers will be out with buckets for collecting donations.

Light a luminary for a loved one. Luminaries will be available for sale for $5.00. Come visit the OBA table by the Gazebo.

Rain date, Sunday, August 25

We are encouraging anyone that lives along Onset Bay to illuminate your residence for the occasion! Strings of lights, lanterns, luminaries, lasers, led's or anything you think would make this event even better would be appreciated and add to the fun!
