4th Of July Fireworks 2021 Canceled In Rockville Centre

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — Although coronavirus cases continue to drop across the country while the number of those who are fully vaccinated continues to rise, many Independence Day celebrations have once again been canceled, modified or will be held virtually due to the pandemic.

Rockville Centre's fireworks have been canceled, and although the village did not have a specific Independence Day alternative, they did bring back the Family Night in the Park series.

Performances will take place July 16 and July 30 at the Village Green from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., while several food trucks will line Maple Avenue, a spokesperson for the village told Patch.

Here is some safety advice for watching the fireworks and caring for your pets.

Due to the pandemic, counties or cities may adjust or cancel events at the last minute. Check your event before you go. Know of other events in the area? Post them on the Patch calendar or share details on our free Neighbor Post feature.
