When the Fourth of July comes around, lawn-chair users and hot-dog eaters can be seen below a sky lit by fireworks. So the question is: Where will you be when you find yourself in a lawn chair with a hot dog while enjoying a fireworks show? No need to worry if your town isn’t celebrating the festivities this year. Luckily, you live in an area that has plenty from which to choose.
Below are four towns throughout the Pinelands where you can visit with your family to enjoy festivities such as live music, food trucks, brews and of course, fireworks.
