Long Island Offers World-Class Fireworks for Independence Day
For one big night, the sky lights up for a party everyone in America is invited to attend. You'll have all sorts of options for July 4th in the Long Island area.
Fireworks in the Bay Boat Ride Sponsored by Freeport Water Taxi
Although there are many places in and around Long Island you could go for July 4th, the biggest and best display of the year takes place at the famous Jones Beach.
Jones Beach is one of the major landmarks Long Island is known for, and it transforms in July for one of the greatest get-togethers of the year.
If you want the absolute best view, you should check out July 4th Fireworks Show by Boat. Entry is $40 for adults and $25 for children – but it's worth it to experience the display from start to finish from the best seats: Right there in the bay!
Operated by Freeport Water Taxi, it's the next best thing to lighting the fireworks yourself!
July 4th Fireworks Spectacular at the Central Mall
Of course, you don't have to hit the bay: You can also spectate directly from Jones Beach.
The classic Jones Beach Fireworks Show hits the scene at 9:30 pm and is one of the top July 4th events on the eastern seaboard. Produced in previous years by the award-winning Garden State Fireworks, it includes thousands of individual fireworks every year.
For a show lasting around 30 minutes, setup takes an amazing four days of intensive work. It's a good idea to plan ahead for your visit, because there are about 100,000 visitors each year – traffic takes about an hour to clear the park at the end of the night.
