Fireworks on the Fourth of July in Morris County NJ 2008

Everyone loves fireworks on Independence Day, but there are many Fourth of July's in the past where I can remember not being able to actually find these amazing displays. Usually we can see them in the distance off the highway on the quiet ride home from the day's festivities. We want to see them up-close! It seems as though people link fireworks with a barbecue, party, or just a great way to end the day after celebrating. After all we are celebrating our countries independence! Unfortunately there are not many places to view the beautiful sparks of red white and blue in the sky this Friday.

There are many towns planning their celebrations this weekend, but not necessarily on the fourth. Finding actual fireworks on the Fourth can be a hassle, so here is a quick guide to where the Firework displays actually are in Morris County, NJ this Fourth of July, 2008.
