Fireworks Display Set For July 1 In Mendham Township

MENDHAM TOWNSHIP, NJ — After some funding concerns earlier this year, Mendham Township Recreation announced that July will indeed begin "with a boom" as the annual fireworks show is a go.

The community will celebrate Independence Day with food, music, inflatable amusements, and fireworks on Monday, July 1 at Mosle Field (located at the end of Hunters Glen).

There is a suggested $10 entry fee to contribute to the cost, and kids can get an unlimited bounce house pass for that donation amount.

Entertainment is lined up beginning at 6:45 p.m., with the grand fireworks display set for 9:15 p.m. Gates open at 6:30 p.m., with local food vendors set up, various games, and a bounce house and obstacle course for the kids.

A DJ will spin music from 6:45 to about 7:45 p.m., when Shorty Long and the Jersey Horns take the stage.

Handicapped parking spaces will be available, and transportation will be provided from the parking lot to the field for those who need assistance.

The current list of vendors includes Anita's Baked Wonders, Sweet Concessions, and Bridgeville Ice Cream.

"Fireworks will be on full display after sunset – bring your lawn chairs, blankets and BYOB (consume responsibly)," said Mendham Township Recreation in an event announcement.

Sponsorships are still available; for more information, contact Recreation Director David Guida at dguida@mendhamtownship.org or visit Community Pass.
