I don’t think we can ask for a better weather forecast for the Jersey Shore this Holiday weekend. As we celebrate the 4th of July in New Jersey, we are looking at clear skies and highs in the 80s! Perfect beach and boardwalk weather. Get those grills ready and start soaking the sangria fruit because we are expecting a great weekend.
If you are looking for some great spots around the Jersey Shore this weekend to view some fireworks, two of the biggest are in Red Bank and Long Branch, part of my tri-cities area!
The KaBoom! Fireworks Committee is pleased to announce the launch of a three-day event of fun, music, and fireworks in Red Bank. Kicking off on Thursday, July 1st is KaBoomFest! Amusements, an area of rides and games of chance for kids of all ages.
The KaBoom! Rock the River concert on Friday, July 2nd is a 4-hour showcase of up and coming recording artists from the Jersey Shore.
The festival concludes with Kaboom! Fireworks on the Navesink on July 3rd. The 51st annual fireworks display in Red Bank and the largest in New Jersey.

Celebrate July 4th At The 20TH Annual Oceanfest. It’s the biggest seasonal event on the Jersey Shore!! In fact, it’s the biggest Independence Day celebration anywhere in New Jersey, and it happens every July 4th right here in Long Branch.
Each year since 1990, crowds numbering in the hundreds of thousands have descended upon the city’s ocean-front promenade from points all over the Mid-Atlantic region for Oceanfest—an all-day, family-friendly festival that brings together the most memorable sights, sounds and sensations of the summer season.
Not just a music or food festival; much more than a craft sale or street fair, Oceanfest combines the best parts of everyone’s favorite community and cultural events—and caps it all off with the most spectacular fireworks display you’ll see anywhere, along the Jersey coast.
At Oceanfest, visitors can stroll the famous beachfront boards, take in the famous views, enjoy performances by dancers, musicians, clowns and children’s entertainment. Sample from a smorgasbord of food vendors, and check out the wares of crafters from all over the northeast. You can even see a sand sculpture demonstration, meet a familiar costumed character, and catch some cool ocean breezes.
The festival will be held July 4th from 10 am to 10 pm, rain or shine. Oceanfest is a free, family-friendly celebration that takes place along the half-mile stretch of the Oceanfront Promenade between Seven Presidents Park and the Ocean Place Resort & Spa.
