Long Island Fourth of July Weekend Fireworks Schedule
Plenty of places for you enjoy the festivities.
Long Islanders were plenty annoyed after officials announced earlier this month that the Jones Beach Fourth of July Fireworks were for the second straight year due to insufficient state police.
Luckily, Long Island is haven for firework fanatics who can get their fix at any of the following shows this weekend.
The following schedule was provided by Fireworks by Grucci. The bigger shows are the ones marked either “National Class” or “World Class.” Eisenhower Park will host the only “World Class” show this Saturday.
