The 4th of July weekend is here, time to celebrate!

The weatherman is calling for some rain this weekend but we won’t let that stop our 4th of July celebrations!

There’s lots to do both indoors and out in Sussex County. If it rains, spend some time exploring local shopping and all of our county’s amazing places to eat. There are a bunch of events going on this weekend as well. Keep and eye on our Upcoming Events page for an up-to-date listing.

Of course everyone want’s to know, where are the firework shows? Here’s a confirmed list of locations, but if we missed anything, please let us know in the comments below.
