Fireworks & Noise-Cancelling Headphone Program
A brilliant display of lights and colours launched from a barge in Charlottetown Harbour in front of Victoria Park.
New this year, the City has partnered with the Autism Society of P.E.I. to lend noise-cancelling headphones to individuals with sensory sensitivities.
A limited number of noise-cancelling headphones will be available at no cost to attendees with sensory needs who want to enjoy the fireworks. Headphone distribution will begin at 9 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. Volunteers from the Autism Society of P.E.I. will be on-site to assist with distribution of the headphones. To borrow a pair of headphones, a piece of identification must be provided which will be held until the headphones are returned. Look for the tent with the red and white stripes to get your pair! |
