The Best 4th of July Fireworks in Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley – 2015

Colorful fireworks light up the night sky.

Looking for great Fireworks on Independence Day 2015?  This year the 4th of July is on a Saturday!  So we have the entire weekend to celebrate, feast and fete. Not all townships and municipalities will have fireworks or parades.  Some will have festivities on the 3rd but not the 4th – but that stretches out the FUN!

As of the writing of this here’s the list of the best options in town.  It looks like the City of Allentown is planning a BIG party for the week.  If you have other fireworks additions leave a comment and it will get added to the list.  Thanks.

Here’s the list:

1. Steelstacks, Saturday – 7.4.15   The Allentown Band will play and Fireworks will be provided by Embassy Bank.  It should be a wonderful show.

2. Bethlehem City – Saturday 7.4.15-  If the fireworks display from Sand Island Park gets mixed in with the Steelstacks fireworks should have the river valley rockin’!

3. Allentown City – Thursday thru Wednesday 7.2.15- 7.8.15 – There will be a 4th of July Celebration on Linden Street starting at 5:30 right in front of J. Birney Crumb Stadium (gates open at 4:30).  The festival will be family friendly with live bands, dancing, food trucks, and games for the kids.  The fireworks will be at J. Birney Crum Stadium which are put on by the city of Allentown.

4. Nazareth Day – 7.18.15 – It’s a week later but Nazareth will have  fireworks during Nazareth Day always the 3rd Saturday in July every year.

5. Upper Macungie Township – 7.3.15 – FRIDAY NIGHT! – at the Earl Adams Memorial Park in Breinigsville.  Rain date is 7.5.15

6. Township of Salisbury – 7.4.15 – at Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom.  This a charged event however you get to use the rest of the amusement park!  It will cost the price of admission into the park.

7. IronPigs stadium – 7.3.15 – FRIDAY NIGHT .  This is also a charged event but you will get to see the IronPigs play against The Rochester Red Wings.  There will be a “3-D Fireworks Extravaganza” on display after the game.  GO PIGS!!!

8. Easton, PA – 7.12.15 – Heritage Day.  There will be no 4th of July fireworks in the City of Easton.  The fireworks will be done during Heritage Day on Larry Holmes Drive.

9. Northampton Country Club – Saturday 7.4.15 – It’s a private country club so you will have to find a nearby spot to enjoy the festivities.

10. Brookside Country Club – Saturday 7.4.15 – It’s a private country club also so you will need to find a public vantage point to watch the extravaganza in the sky.

A note: Everyone I spoke to said starting time”around 9:00 pm” .  So be there with your blanket or chairs before dark…you know the drill….

Wishing everyone a safe and festive 4th of July!!
