The Fourth of July fireworks and festivities are spread over several days in New Jersey in 2025. See our town-by-town listing.

Whether seeking a fun run or a boat rental to view fireworks from the water, options abound this Independence Day.

Bringing pets to July 4th events may also decrease the chances they’re found if they run away, as the animal may not be able to navigate home. Also be cautious about when pets are let outside or walked. If that typically happens in the evening, consider going for a walk earlier, before firework shows begin.
