Fireworks Over Etra to Celebrate Independence

East Windsor residents can enjoy a free fireworks and concert at Etra Lake Park on Saturday.

The annual Independence Day celebration is free and begins at 6 p.m. with Jerry Rife’s Rhythm Kings Dixieland Jazz Band, a six-piece band from the Delaware Valley area best known for its traditional jazz sound. They will be followed at 7:30 P.M. by the Trenton Brass Quintet Plus One, a six-piece ensemble from Central Jersey performing Americana and a variety of popular melodies.

The fireworks display will commence immediately following the concerts, at approximately 9:30 p.m.

“Our nation’s Independence Day is a great occasion for our residents to join together in celebration and in recognition of our blessings of liberty and freedom," Mayor Janice Mirinov said in a press release. She urged everyone to, “bring your blankets and chairs, and use the barbecue grills for a night of free fun at beautiful Etra Lake Park.”

There will also be vendors present for purchase of refreshments. This free event is made possible through the generous contributions of many area businesses.
