Herkimer College will kick off its annual Fall Fest & Alumni Weekend on Friday, Sept. 30. In recognition of the College’s 50th anniversary, there will be several new and enhanced activities this year including a fireworks display on Friday at 9 p.m.
At the conclusion of the Alumni Hall of Honor Induction Ceremony and Reception, a brief fireworks display will take place on the Robert McLaughlin College Center lawn.

Beginning at approximately 8:45 p.m., Lou Ambers Drive will be closed to traffic until the conclusion of the fireworks display. Additionally, Reservoir Road is closed due to ongoing road repairs. Those planning to watch the fireworks on-campus should arrive by 8:45 p.m.
