SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Extend your Independence Day Celebration to the weekend and join the Schaumburg Boomers for a three-game set against the Washington Wild Things complete with fireworks, giveaways and more beginning on Friday, July 6 at 6:30 p.m.

If you didn’t get your share of patriotism on the fourth, the Boomers have you covered on Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. with another Independence Day Celebration featuring a tremendous fireworks display courtesy of Melrose Pyrotechnics.

FIREWORKS SATURDAY? Due to the Village of Schaumburg’s 10:30 p.m. curfew on fireworks displays at Boomers Stadium, the Boomers were forced to postpone Friday's scheduled Melrose Pyrotechnics performance. However, the fireworks have been rescheduled for after Saturday evening’s 6 p.m. first pitch against the Wild Things. All tickets (used or unused) from Friday’s 9-8 Schaumburg win will be honored for Saturday’s game so stop by the Box Office to exchange you ticket stub from Friday for an available seat for Saturday.

Gates open at 4 p.m. on July 7 for you to enjoy a slice of paradise in Schaumburg with a beach towel giveaway for the first 1,500 fans, live music, and cheeseburger and margarita specials for Jimmy Buffett Night. Parrothead or not, it is sure to be a tropical and fun filled night at Boomers Stadium, leaving you feeling as if you have your toes in the sand and ocean water rolling up to your ankles.

To close out the series, the Boomers will host the World’s Largest Squirt Gun Fight Sunday at 1p.m.! The first 1,500 fans will be armed with Boomers Squirt Guns and everyone is invited to fire away throughout the game, as it will be a water-gun battle royale!
