NJ families are making Fourth of July plans — the 250th anniversary fireworks near you

Fourth of July 250

Researched and compiled by Abigail Hynes, Isabella Rocha, Selin Ildokuz and Dan Alexander 

Get ready for the Fourth of July and America's 250th Anniversary celebration! 🎇

Rain caused many towns scheduled for Saturday, June 27 to postpone their displays. Intense heat and humidity on July 2, 3 and 4 also caused postponements of displays.

If a display is postponed its status it may not be updated here. Check local websites before heading out to a display. Displays may also be postponed due to the extreme heat.

Counties and municipalities in the Garden State are planning their Independence Day fireworks displays and other festivities.

The Fourth is on a Saturday this year. Many fireworks are part of the daylong 250th anniversary celebrations.

Events are subject to change due to weather or other concerns.

If we missed a display, please email: Dan.Alexander@townsquaremedia.com
