What Is Willy Wednesday?
The last Wednesday in June, every year since 1982, has been a Crown Point tradition. It started when about a dozen neighborhood kids whose families could not afford fireworks for the Fourth of July showed up at our door. Willy put on a free fireworks show for them right then and there. That spirit of community has never left this store.
Willy Wednesday is now one of the biggest nights of the year in Crown Point. Any kid who says "Willy Works" gets a free sparkler.
What to Expect
Doorbusters, fresh stock, in store specials, and the deepest selection we carry all year. It is the best day of the season to plan a full show. Come early, the parking lot fills up.
Where: Lake County Fairgrounds, Crown Point, IN
When: The last Wednesday in June. In 2026 that is Wednesday, June 24.
