No matter how many years we’ve watched classic Jersey Shore fireworks, we still get that one-of-a-kind happy feeling when we watch the sky light up from the comfort of our beach chair or picnic blanket. We’ve got a full schedule of fireworks for this holiday weekend, Thursday, June 30th – Monday, July 4th – even a bonus show on Friday, July 8th! Whether you are looking for a full-blown local celebration, or just want to settle in at dusk to watch the show, there’s something for you somewhere nearby!

If we missed any Jersey Shore fireworks in Monmouth and Ocean, please let us know in the comments!
