If you have a young family with babies next door, or a neighbor with dogs, or if you live in a neighborhood with a lot of elderly individuals.... well. If you set off fireworks all night and keep the baby awake, or give the dog severe anxiety, or make Grandpa remember something he doesn't want to.... that's between you and karma.

With the Fourth of July around the corner, a reminder: fireworks are illegal without permission in our city, putting safety first for all.

Hold onto your cowboy hats (and your turtles), because Warsaw Jubilee Days is stampeding back into town June 4–7, 2025 — and this year’s theme is "Wild, Wild West Edition"! That means more boots, more buckles, and just enough yeehaw to legally classify as a rodeo (but without the livestock insurance).

Get ready for a fun-filled July 5th in Warsaw, featuring an ice cream social for the historic Powell Crabtree cabin and a lively reading of the Declaration of Independence at Trailside Theater.
