Does this happen to you every Fourth of July?
  • Your kids (and confess, you too) want to go see a great fireworks display.
  • That display in the big city is fired from atop that big building and so far in the sky that your neck will be stiff until the state fair.
  • You have to go so very early for a close spot.
  • Once you have the close spot you'll be stuck in traffic for an hour when it's time to go.
  • Other than eating not much goes on while you wait for the show.

The Town of Cicero has the solution to many of these problems and the Indiana Transportation Museum helps with the rest.

Additionally, in 2009 Cicero celebrates their 175th anniversary July 3rd, 4th and 5th.  Click here to learn more about the 175th anniversary celebration including how to get there by train.  For the July 4th celebration read on.

Cicero caps their celebration of the Fourth of July with a fantastic fireworks display fired from the waters of Morse Lake.  While crowds gather for the show a traditional, patriotic parade and other great activities take place in the town above Morse. Residents of Cicero call their celebration "Lights Over Morse Lake" with the slogan "The place to be on the 4th." We at the Indiana Transportation Museum agree with that slogan.

Our Fireworks Train solves the dilemma of finding that parking spot and what time to go.  Park at the Museum in Forest Park and ride one of 4 trains to the center of Cicero, about a quarter mile from the reservoir, on July 4th:

  • Depart at 9:30 AM to Cicero in time for the parade at 10 AM featuring Bowser from the Indiana Pacers!  After the parade head to Community Park for the Music Festival or  Kids Carnival.  Both events run from 11 AM to 5 PM.

  • Depart at 2:00 PM to take part in the last part of those activities.

  • Depart at 5:00 PM in time for a picnic of your own food or food from the vendors in Cicero or head over to Red Bridge Park for more of the Music Festival

  • Depart at 8:00 PM with just enough time to find seats for the fireworks that begin about 10:15 PM.

The train departs for the return to the Museum about 30 minutes after the fireworks display concludes.
