Independence Day Carnival & Fireworks On July 3rd

Roselle Park’s 2016 Independence Day celebration this year will include a carnival. The day’s festivities will begin at 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 3rd, at the Roselle Park High School athletic complex. This will be followed by live music at 7 p.m. and the annual fireworks show around 9 o’clock at night. There will also be food vendors at the event and a 50/50 raffle.

This year’s Master of Ceremonies for the carnival will be Mariann Baumbach, who has participated in and hosted the borough’s Annual September 11th Remembrance ceremony. Mr. James Vigliotti will also be kicking off the festivities with “God Bless America”.

To ensure safety for the public, West Colfax Avenue will be closed from Pine Street to Laurel Avenue at 2p.m. (to allow food vendors to set up). West Webster Avenue will be barricaded from vehicular traffic between Larch Street and Laurel Avenue starting at 5 p.m.
