Make it a full night of family fun this Friday, July 17, beginning with Long Beach Township’s Firepit Friday concert on the beach followed by a live patriotic drone show in Bayview Park to celebrate the America’s 250th birthday. Both events are free to attend.

Firepit Fridays take place each week from 7 to 9 p.m. on the 68th Street beach in Brant Beach. This week, popular cover band Man Down will assemble to entertain the crowd.
