New group hopes to relaunch Kailua fireworks show

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)- Community volunteers have formed a new organization to bring back the Fourth of July Fireworks celebration to Kailua in 2013. 

Kailua Fireworks is a nonprofit organization incorporated in 2012 for the sole purpose of raising funds for and putting on an annual firework display on Kailua Bay. 

"For 65 years we've celebrated Independence Day with a 4th of July fireworks show here in Kailua," explains Brook Gramann, who's spearheaded fundraising efforts in past years. "In 2008, Kailua businesses and residents joined forces to continue the tradition after we learned the Kailua Chamber of Commerce would be discontinuing sponsorship of the event."   It became increasingly difficult to raise funds for the event so for just the second or third time in Kailua's history, the 4th of July Fireworks celebration did not take place in 2012.
