The Lakewood Township Independence Day fireworks and concert will be held on Thursday, July 2nd at Lake Carasaljo, the township announced today.
The concert, featuring The Wilbur Wittemann All-Star Patriotic Orchestra, will begin at 7:30pm at the Amphitheater at Lake Carasaljo.
Fireworks will be held over the Lake at 9:15pm.
Shuttle buses will be available from the Municipal Building & Public Works parking lot, beginning at 6:00pm.
The Fourth of July is on Sat not on Thur. Why is it Lakewood can never celebrate the holiday when it is??
Why complain Piner? Why not just thank the township for arranging a wonderful event and transportation.

The township said last year that they the save alot of money by not doing it on the 4th. If you want to pay the difference I’m sure they will be glad to change the date
To the complainer of comment #1 it costs an incredible amount more $ to get the fireworks display on July 4th. (Much more than you think) The further from July 4th the less it is. The days before and after are also much more expensive especially this year being on a Friday and Sunday.
We don’t have the money – rather save us some tax money – we can’t pay the bills………
Why are the fireworks being held on July 2nd.?????
If it is so expensive, just cancel the fireworks and have the concert on Saturday so we can have a real 4th celebration. This event brings no revenue to the town anyway.
We should not skip this event! We more than most people should be thankful for the freedom we enjoy here in America. We also should be thankful to our neighbors who have lived here befor us for welcoming the changes we brought. I am so happy it will not be on Saturday so we can honor the day of independence. Please don’t forget to put your flags out.
Im sure WILbur Wittemann & all-stars are a fantastic, rocking orchestra. But can I preface his performance w/ a 30 min Carlebach Kumzitz ? Just asking.
We can have cupcakes and cd’s – i will wear red white and blue and read the declaration of independence – we love amercia but we don’t have the money!
Please note that saturday is also shabbos and many residents would not be able to partake in the festivities.
Is there going to be the race again this year? The miles for matlosz?
