Two summers ago, Barnegat Township ended a tradition of more than 45 years by moving the Independence Day fireworks display from the municipal dock to the high school football field. The event will be at the school on Saturday evening, July 1. Rain date is July 8.

The festivities begin with arrival of food trucks at 6 p.m. Trucks include Lunch Wagon, Café Blossom and Marty G Dogs.
