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 stumbled upon a very nice surprise indeed down at Marine Park on July 4th; a parade of boats courtesy of the Shrewsbury Yacht Club out of Fair Haven. The group paraded down the Navesink to the front of the Monmouth Boat Club before circling back.

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 Annual George Sheehan Classic will be taking place in downtown Red Bank on Friday June 12th and Saturday June 13th. The event, which includes many activities including the Kids' Classic, music and entertainment, the runner's expo, a health walk, the 5 mile race, and an awards ceremony, is sure to offer something for everyone whether a participant or not.

Since the 1930's, the magical and gentle Red Bank Clay courts have been serving (no pun intended) tennis players of all skill levels from Memorial Day through Mid-October. By paying an extremely reasonable 1-time fee per season, one can enjoy "unlimited play 7 days a week".
