Getting Ready for an Old Fashioned July 4th

The Millburn-Short Hills Fourth of July Celebration has its own website. Everything you need to know about the variety of July 4 activities is there. 

Millburn has a full day of activities planned for Independence Day, starting with a 9 a.m. flag ceremony followed by the parade of decorated bikes, trikes and strollers, and then lacrosse and softball games at 10 a.m.

The afternoon (which begins at 11 a.m. and goes to 3 p.m.) will feature family activities such as duck races, pony rides, a climbing wall, rides and a Revolutionary War Encampment. 

The day will be topped off with the evening fireworks display at Millburn High School. Advanced purchase tickets for the full day of events are $10 and those bought on July 4th will cost $12.

Evening fireworks-only tickets are $5 each. The website reminds you to bring a blanket to the fireworks, as chairs will not be allowed on the field.

Tickets can be purchased at the Millburn Deli, Futter’s Shoes, Buncher’s Hardware, Michael’s Barber Shop, La Strada and Splurge Bakery. For more information, check out the website.
