Independence Day Celebration: Matawan's Fireworks Return July 2

MATAWAN, NJ — If you're looking for something to do this Independence Day, you're in luck. Matawan will celebrate the birthday of the United States with a spectacular fireworks display.

The fireworks will be launched at dusk from Matawan First Presbyterian Church with stunning views from Ravine Dr. Bridge and Lake Lefferts Park.

Since the location of the launch site is at the church, and the area around it is considered the fall-out zone, police will have that area closed as a viewing location, according to officials.

Food, such as hot dogs and hamburgers, will be available through CJX Jorge Express.

Music will be provided by DJ Short Dogg. The kids can take turns going down the giant slide as well as enjoy other activities.

Should it rain, the fireworks show will be moved to July 9.

The event is free to the public.
