Great news. After a year off, because of the pandemic, fireworks are back this year at Rider University, to celebrate the 4th of July, according to the Lawrence Township Recreation Department.
Let's hear it for more normalcy. Yay. The date has been set...Thursday, July 1st. I can't wait. Bring your family, friends, chairs, and blankets. There will be music, food trucks, and of course, fun. The annual tradition is hosted by Lawrence Township and held on the Rider University campus each year.
My family has gone for years, and we love it. We meet friends there, bring lots of food, some bevvys, lawn games, listen to the live music, and hangout until the fireworks start, right after dark. It's like a big tailgate party, and it's so much fun. Hint - when you go early, you're guaranteed a great spot to watch the fireworks.
