The Onset Bay Association will host its annual illumination night on Saturday, July 18 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. with over 1,500 flares illuminating Onset Bay.
According to organizers, there's not a bad seat around, but Main Beach and Bluffs are "optimal viewing spots" to see the flares.
There will be live music at the Gazebo during the event. Flares will be lit at 9 p.m. and burn for approximately 30 minutes, according to the Onset Bay Association.
The event is free but volunteers will be accepting donations throughout.
Like previous years, Illumination Night is being held in honor of Sandi Besse, the founder of Shell Point Real Estate who was formerly named Wareham's Woman of the Year and has served on the Onset Bay Association, Wareham Finance Committee and Onset Prudential Committee.
If needed, a rain date is scheduled for Sunday, July 19.
