Freehold To Host Annual Declaration of Independence Reading

FREEHOLD, NJ — Though many look for nighttime activities to attend on the Fourth of July, Freehold Borough will offer a unique Independence Day experience with their annual reading of the Declaration of Independence.

The declaration is a founding document of the United States. Originally published on July 4, 1776, the document established America’s separation from Great Britain, earning the holiday’s title of Independence Day.

For residents of Freehold, this reading has become a tradition and has been going on for over a decade.

This year, the reading will begin at 9 a.m. on July 4 at the Freehold Borough Fire House.

Attendees who wish to join the reading should plan to show up by 8:45 a.m. For those who can’t attend in person, the reading will be live-streamed on the Borough of Freehold Facebook page.

The Freehold Borough Fire House is located at 49 West Main Street, Freehold.
