Lake Waconia Fireworks Tradition Continues Under New Leadership
WACONIA, MN — After proudly organizing the Lake Waconia fireworks display for more than 30 years, the Waconia Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Sovereign Estate Winery will now organize this community-loved tradition, honoring its legacy while carrying it forward. The Chamber leadership and Board of Directors are grateful to Sovereign Estate Winery for this natural and thoughtful transition that allows the fireworks tradition to continue in a way that best serves the community. To everyone who has made this tradition possible—our loyal business and organization sponsors, tireless volunteers, emergency responders, and community supporters—thank you. Your generosity and dedication have created decades of Lake Waconia fireworks. Though no longer responsible for the fireworks display, the Waconia Chamber remains fully committed to engaging community connection and supporting the businesses that make Waconia thrive – and will continue to bring people together in many ways to celebrate what makes our community special
“Thank you to the community and all the organizations, past and present, who have been such generous supporters of the Lake Waconia Fireworks. A special thank you to the Waconia Lions Club for their years of partnership and dedication to making this event possible. We’re so grateful that Sovereign Estate Winery has embraced this tradition and will carry it forward.”
— Christine Fenner, President, Waconia Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau
