The Spirit of Princeton invites the community to the 14th Annual Independence Day Fireworks on Thursday, July 2 at 9 p.m. at the fields next to the Princeton University Stadium, along Western Way. The site opens at 7 p.m. for picnics and socializing with friends and family.

The event is free and open to all. The 16th Annual Spirit of Princeton Fireworks Celebration will take place rain or shine – only lightning will cancel the show. No alcoholic beverages are allowed at the site. Also, no smoking is allowed on the field because of the new artificial turf. But food, fun, music, and frolic are encouraged to be followed by the spectacular fireworks. Parking is available in University Lot 21 below the fields off of Faculty Road, as well as in the University parking garage on Prospect Street. Better yet, walk to the fields and beat the traffic.

Thanks to the Spirit of Princeton, a Princeton-based non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the community together through a variety of civic events, the town residents can enjoy not only the fireworks, but also the Memorial Day Parade, the Flag Day celebration, and the Veteran’s Day ceremony.
