4th Of July Fireworks On Long Island

 
 
Independence Day 2013 is on Thursday and Long Island is full of celebrations. Here is a lineup of the shows we found in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Check with your local town hall, chamber of commerce, or fire department if you don’t see a fireworks show near you. Some towns and villages have yet to post show details online. Unless otherwise noted, firework shows begin at dusk, and generally end between 9-10 pm. Arrive early to ensure a good viewing spot. If heading to the East End, please be sure to check out 4th Of July Fireworks On The North Fork And The Hamptons.
If you love fireworks but have children who fear the sound of loud bangs, here are some helpful tips: Give them headphones or high quality earplugs. A child-size set of headphones will do the trick. Just reducing the noise helps kids enjoy the pretty lights without fear. Give kids a bell to ring or a horn to toot after each burst. This method seems to help kids cope with the noise.
