Independence Day is just around the corner. This is a great time of year to live in Bergen County. Several local towns simply come alive with fireworks, parades, and community celebrations. So, if you're in the area, we suggest you take a break from looking at Ridgewood homes for sale and attend one of these festive events.
Paramus Fireworks Cliff Gennarelli Sports Complex
Paramus, NJ 07652
The Paramus Fireworks Show takes place at the Cliff Gennarelli Sports Complex and is one of the town's biggest celebrations of the year. Gates will open at 6 p.m. on June 30th. There will be several food vendors on-site selling snacks and drinks. Attendees can either watch the fireworks from the field or their cars.
The fireworks will start going off at dusk, following a live musical performance by Raphael Valentino. This year's sponsor is Westfield Garden State Plaza. This would be the perfect show to attend after a day of looking at Paramus homes for sale.
Fireworks at State Fair Meadowlands:
1 MetLife Stadium Drive, East Rutherford, NJ 07073
If you're looking for a fireworks show on July 3rd, head to Fireworks at State Fair Meadowlands. They're having two shows this year: One on the evening of July 3rd and the second on July 4th. You do have to purchase a fair pass to attend the show.
This is a great option for families with kids since you can spend the day playing games and riding the rides before ending the evening with a fireworks show.

Monroe Street and Godwin Avenue, Ridgewood, NJ 07451
The Fourth of July Parade is an annual tradition in Ridgewood. On July 4th, it begins at 10 a.m. at the corner of Monroe Street and Godwin Avenue. This year's theme is "United We Play." There will be floats, bands, and numerous costumed mascots participating in the parade.
If you decide to attend, make sure you bring a chair or blanket to sit on. Also, plan to arrive early to get an up-close view. Dress in red, white, and blue!
Ridgefield Park Fourth of July Parade and Celebration:
