[MAP] Where to Watch Fireworks in the Lower Hudson Valley
Here's an interactive map of pyrotechnics coming up this weekend through July 4, including perennial favorites in Nyack, Rye, Ossining, Peekskill, Valhalla, Mamaroneck, Port Chester and New Rochelle.
Just roll over the icons on the map to see locations of upcoming fireworks shows.
In the comments, share your fireworks traditions, offer tips about where to park or the best place to unpack the picnic, upload photos or just let us know your opinion about the best show.
There is also a show on Sunday July 1 on lake road in congers, ny. The show should start around 9:45pm and its the final day for the Congers FD carnival, should be an awesome show! Can we get that added to your map?
We are working on that now. And here's the URL to a pdf about the Congers Fire Department Carnival and Fireworks. http://www.rcvfa.com/Fund/cfd-carnival2012.pdf Thanks for letting us know.
As the 4th of July weekend approaches in Rye and we celebrate America's 236th birthday, I thought it would be fitting to listen to one of our most beloved American patriotic songs and view it as it pertains to the ways in which our Mayor Doug French protects our shorelines each and every day.

I'm told Kingsland Point (as mapped here) in Sleepy Hollow is not the best viewing (too many trees) so Barnhardt Park or just the end of Beekman will do!
Don't forget, There's a fireworks show and concert tonight, June 3 at the Nanuet High School. There will also be bouncing castles and a flying demonstration. http://patch.com/E-m3TB
It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up the…Read More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base
Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much larger…Read More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
Thanks for letting us know.
