Moved to just off Exchange Place which could mean even those fireworks will not be visible from the Heights. I can see some roofs with people waiting for fireworks that will never come.

The fireworks will be moved from Liberty State Park in NJ, closed because of the NJ state budget crisis. See story here on NJ.com:

No fireworks visable from BH? Wow Great no mobs of tourists and obnoxious, dangerous street kids….

But also notice that illegal patriotic displays have made a thrilling return…After all, who’s gonna listen to big red bird telling you not to enjoy and honor the 4th with your family….

Does anyone know what time the “Fourth Annual Jersey City Freedom and Fireworks Festival at Liberty State Park in N.J.” fireworks are? I can’t seem to figure out from their website. Also are they worth watching from brooklyn heights?

No trip up to the roof this year on the 4th.

I too checked weeks ago and could’ve sworn I saw the same thing. Unless by chance they had last year’s information up still? What a shame.

The fact is, even in years when the fireworks were on the Hudson and almost completely obstructed, that didn’t stop hordes of people from coming to the neighborhood to watch (and likely leave with disappointment). I’m sure this year will be no different, alas.

I checked a Macy’s site several weeks ago and remember it as having stated that there would be barges near the bridge. Did I imagine this?

With basically a week until the 4th this is the first I’ve heard this news. I’m sure that we are not the only ones who have people over to enjoy the fireworks. I guess shame on me for not double checking, but no one has bothered to mention this up until now?
