Enjoy a special water view of holiday displays in Norwalk, and avoid the crowds and traffic, by coming aboard one of the Fireworks Cruises offered by The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. The Aquarium is offering cruises to two fireworks displays aboard its R/V Spirit of the Sound, the country’s first research vessel with quiet “green” hybrid-electric propulsion. The 64-foot catamaran has two deck levels for optimum viewing enjoyment. Here’s the Aquarium’s patriotic-pyrotechnics plan:

• Tuesday, July 3 – Norwalk’s Calf Pasture Beach display

• Wednesday, July 4 – Rowayton display

Each cruise departs at 7 p.m. from The Maritime Aquarium dock (outside the IMAX Theater). Return is expected by 11 p.m. Food in small soft-sided coolers is allowed aboard the boat, but alcoholic beverages and glass bottles are prohibited.
