 Getting Home:

After the fireworks there will be four lines at the rear of the Carnival. Two will be the Pony Express Trolley and two will be for shuttle service back to the Chincoteague High School.

This additional service is being provided by the Pony Express, the Town of Chincoteague and the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company to help alleviate traffic and parking problems. 

Fire and Rescue emergency response will be from the Carnival, so it is important to allow clear and safe passage of these vehicles.

The fire company will keep watch on any weather developments and may make a decision that evening to either begin the fireworks display early or postpone until a future night for the safety of attendees. Please plan to arrive early and watch the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company and Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce Facebook pages for any updates. The inclement weather date is July 11th
