Parking
We recommend parking in the central business district and walking to Veteran’s Field. There are significant street closures around Vet’s Field, including Maple Avenue.

There are many viewing points for Ridgewood’s annual fireworks display, but the best is Vet’s Field where the ground works are set up. Food trucks are on site and local musical groups perform at the Kaschau Bandshell while the crowd waits for the sun to set before the big show. This show-stopping pyrotechnic display brings spectators from miles around, so come early, pack the bug spray and bring a blanket or beach chair. As it grows dark, just sit back and enjoy.
