July 4, 2007.  Kearny's annual 4th of July celebration will start at 7 p.m. with the Garden State Concert Band at Veterans Field on Belgrove Drive.  You may want to consider walking to Veterans Field since streets surrounding the field will be closed to traffic.  In addition to the patriotic music by the Garden State Concert Band, there are clowns and cartoon characters to entertain children and adults. 

The Fireworks are scheduled to go off shortly after 9 p.m.  Showers may however spoil the fireworks.  Weather forecasters are unsure whether the showers and possible thunderstorm will arrive before 9 p.m.
