The Red Bank Fireworks are full of excitement, crowds, noise, and energy from the eager anticipation leading to the event till the first rocket rips through the night air on that legendary evening; it is a really special night.

After an exhausting three hour tennis match in Marine Park, I found myself starving and limped across the parking lot to Boondocks Fishery & Grill to try Red Bank's newest eatery. WOW!! I found awesome food, an incredible atmosphere, and reasonable prices (along with "FREE Sunsets").

The Red Bank Fireworks by Kaboom! take place along the banks of the Navesink river every year on the evening of July 3rd (with a rain date of July 4th). The event covers far more then simply a spectacular light show and features live music, food, and entertainment.

I am not sure how long there have been fireworks on the Navesink to celebrate the 4th of July. I cannot remember them before the 60's. Around 1964 or 65 the Red Bank Parks and Recreation under Al Gatta started shooting fireworks on the Navesink.
