Half the year is over, but the fun is just getting started. July never disappoints with a host of Summer fun activities around the 4th of July holiday. Don't miss the fireworks, hot dogs and more this week across the state--from Bergen to Cape May Counties.
Note: many more towns have activities, but these are some of the most notable events.
North Jersey
The Macy's fireworks are back on the Hudson 4th of July. One of the country's biggest displays will be launched on the river from midtown to downtown. So grad a seat along the waterfront in Hudson County locations from Weehawken, Hoboken and Jersey City and to its South for prime viewing.
