Fireworks & Independence Day Celebration Cancellation

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel today's fireworks display and all scheduled events at Thompson Park due to the threat of thunderstorms in the forecast and the storm damage our community and State experienced last night.

The safety of our residents, visitors and emergency personnel is our highest priority. With over 300 residents still without power throughout the Township and the potential for additional severe weather, it is essential that we keep our police, fire, EMS, and public works personnel available to respond to emergencies.

By making this decision now, we will have the opportunity to reschedule the celebration for a future date so our community can properly commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America under safer conditions.

We know this is disappointing, and this decision was not made lightly. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to put safety first. Information regarding a rescheduled date will be announced as soon as it becomes available.

Additional information on road openings and extreme heat conditions will be provided by Monroe Township OEM throughout the day.
