The Aurora Firecracker Craft Show & Festival was conceived by five Aurora residents in 1991. The festival was designed with the idea of a family atmosphere of fun and activities close to home. Over the years the festival has seen Live Entertainment, Crafters, Concessions, Lighted Boat Parade, Fishing Derby, Boat Rides on the Ohio, Duck Regatta, Baby Contest, Prince & Princess Contest, Kids’ Area and much much more.

The festival is held annually on the Friday and Saturday closest to the Fourth of July with the 2009 festival being held Friday July 3rd beginning at 5:00PM and Saturday July 4th beginning at 10:00AM.  Enjoy an old fashioned Fourth of July with friendly small town people, while avoiding the holiday traffic.
