In the event of inclement weather, the rain date will be July 3rd.
It’s been five years since the Medford Township Annual Independence Day Celebration and Fireworks Display made its return after being cancelled for two years. According to The Medford Celebrates Board, ShopRite of Medford is again returning as the Presenting Sponsor.
Columbia Bank of Medford is also returning as the Stage Sponsor, Polymer Solutions is returning as the Vendors Concourse sponsor, and YMCA Camp Ockanickon is back as the Kid’s Zone sponsor.
Other area businesses that are returning as sponsors include PJ Whelihans Restaurants, Medford Ford, Bob Meyer Communities, Archer & Greiner, P.C., Padden Cooper, LLC, Century 21 Meyer Realty, The Painting & Wallpaper Company, Medford Fitness, and the Y.A.L.E. School.
Each year, upwards of 25,000 regional residents attend Medford’s Independence Day Celebration, but according to Bob Egan, President of Medford Celebrates Foundation, Inc., “Hosting an event of this size for thousands of South Jersey residents and visitors costs money and takes a team of people and, frankly, cannot be shouldered by the Medford Celebrates Trustees alone. Admission is technically free, but if every family would contribute even a dollar for each family member who comes to watch, we can help assure that we can keep the fireworks going.” Egan asked all who attend the event to be on the lookout for donation tents and tables at Freedom Park, and for all others to visit the Foundation website www.medfordcelebrates.org to make a donation and for complete information on the schedule of activities, parking, directions, and more.
