NEW HOPE & LAMBERTVILLE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE ANNOUNCE THE THIRD SEASON OF FRIDAY NIGHT FIREWORKS 15 WEEKS OF LIGHTS OVER THE RIVER! Enjoy Friday Night Fireworks, a spectacle of lights over the Delaware River. The 15-week summer long promotion kicks-off on Friday, May 24 every Friday night at 9:30 pm until August 30, 2013. Orchestrated by Garden State Fireworks, a glittering ten-minute firework show will illuminate the sky over the Delaware River for the summer season. In addition, most retail businesses on both sides of the river will stay open late. Bill Scandone, co-chair and Borough Council member said, “Friday Night Fireworks have more than revitalized our communities, they are bringing us together. Our residents are waiting in anticipation for Fireworks 2013, and we aim to please. All ages come out to watch the display. Our goal is to dazzle while enforcing our safety first policy. We thank all of the protection groups, fire, Police, river protection and Bridge Commission. We could not do this without their support.” “It takes a village and then some to pull off Friday Night Fireworks,” commented Nick Gialias, co-chair and owner of the Logan Inn. “We are working endlessly to raise enough funds so everyone can enjoy the spectacular show as well as the many shops, restaurants and activities our river towns have to offer. But we need financial contributions to make it all happen.” This year, we will have street teams collecting donations. Friday Night Fireworks are made possible by 100% charitable contributions from local/corporate business owners, residents and tourists. To make a donation, mail a check to: The Bank of Princeton, 10 Bridge Street, Lambertville, NJ 08530. All checks should be made out to New Hope on the Delaware Fireworks.
