Lacey Fireworks Will Kick Off Tonight At Lacey High School

LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Lacey Township will be starting its Fourth of July festivities a little early. Like tonight.

The fireworks display will kick off at dusk tonight at Lacey Township High School at 73 Haines Street, Police Chief Michael C. DiBella said.

Entertainment will begin at approximately 7 p.m. and the fireworks show will begin at dusk, around 9 p.m. Lacey police and local emergency services will be on hand to maintain safety and coordinate traffic before, during and after the fireworks, the chief said.

"Parking along several portions of the shoulder of Haines Street will be restricted to limit the danger presented by an excessive number of pedestrians crossing Haines Street from the High School," DiBella said. "In addition, we need to keep Haines Street as clear as possible in the case of an emergency."

Drivers who are not attending the show may want to avoid Manchester Avenue and Haines Street, since they typically back up with traffic during the show, the chief said.

There's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., the National Weather Service says. So let's hope the weather holds up.
