The Estevan Chamber of Commerce has officially announced the cancellation of the fireworks that were scheduled to be part of Beach Bash last month.
The fireworks were postponed a couple days before Beach Bash due to a fire ban that was imposed by the councils of the City of Estevan and the Rural Municipality of Estevan at the time. But since the fireworks had not been delivered, and the organizers of Beach Bash were able to return the fireworks, they decided to cancel the popular show, rather than try to reschedule it.
Jackie Wall, the executive director for the Estevan Chamber of Commerce, said they would have investigated rescheduling the display if they couldn’t return the fireworks.
“It was going to be a bit of a challenge to determine when we were going to do it,” said Wall. “We had a lot of people come forward, if we couldn’t return the fireworks, wanting us to do them in conjunction with their event.”
But she recognizes it would have been logistically difficult to have the fireworks at an event other than Beach Bash.
Even if there wasn’t a fire ban, Wall said it would have been difficult to have the fireworks at Beach Bash due to the high winds that day.
Wall said it’s unfortunate they had to cancel the show, and while people were disappointed, they were also understanding.
