Narberth Fourth of July Celebration and Fireworks
|
Our signature event has become the biggest Fourth of July celebration and fireworks display on the Main Line. It is easily the biggest event in Narberth each year, and is eagerly anticipated by local adults and children alike. From 10am to 2pm, the park becomes a carnival of fun family activities, with food, parades, races, contests, carnival games, a dunking booth and much more. At night is an amazing fireworks display, worthy of any town, that attracts thousands of our neighbors from our communities in and around the Main Line. |
Join us on Wednesday July 4th, 2018 for Narberth's 76th annual Fourth of July celebration!
Fireworks are still a go as planned. Once the fireworks are delivered, we have to shoot them off. Sorry for the inconvenience, this is supposed to be a pop up storm and hopefully it will clear out soon!
