Kaboom! Fireworks
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.
Spanning two of Red Bank's Parks, Marine Park, at the base of Wharf Ave, and Riverside Garden's Park on Front Street, the event features more then two dozen food vendors as well as live music and entertainment.
A large stage is set up at each location and live performances start at 3:00 PM and run until the fireworks at dusk and start up again for another 45 minutes after the display. The fireworks themselves are one of the largest displays in the country. Two barge locations are responsible for shooting off over 10,000 shells, all choreographed to a mixture of popular and patriotic songs. Rumor has it you'll hear Born in the USA and if all goes right, Neil Diamond.
FREE PARKING JULY 3rd, 4th & 5th
