Earlier this year, it looked like Excelsior would be forced for the second year in a row to cancel July 4 fireworks — the biggest and possibly oldest holiday display on Lake Minnetonka, drawing upward of 10,000 people to the city in a typical year — because of lack of funds.
Then a group of donors came to the rescue, offering to sponsor this year's event. They made only one request: that the fireworks be moved to Deephaven.
Viewers are still being encouraged to watch the show from Excelsior Commons, the 13-acre public park where the show has been held almost every year for more than a century. This year's stage will be a barge off the Deephaven shoreline, just under 2 miles to the northeast from the Commons, visible across the lake. The Deephaven area does not offer a similarly spacious gathering spot.
