Camden County's 4th Of July Freedom Festival Canceled

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — July 4 events across the country will not look the same this year thanks to the coronavirus. Many cities and towns have been forced to cancel the annual Fourth of July events, including those in Camden County.

The Camden County Freedom Festival, the county's annual concert and fireworks celebration for the 4th of July at the BB&T Pavilion, has been canceled.

"We canceled the fireworks because we didn't think it was a good idea to encourage large gatherings at this time," Camden County Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli Jr. said. "Ensuring safety means better health for the public and better health for the economy."
