Wednesday Night Fireworks
One of the events that make Seaside Heights its own unique place are the weekly fireworks shows. During the summer this spectacular exhibition occurs every Wednesday, beginning at 9:30 P.M. The 2008 schedule is as follows: June 25; Friday, July 4; July 2, 9, 16, and 23; Aug. 6, 13, 20, 27, and 31; and Dec. 31 at 5:30 p.m. and midnight. If the Wednesday fireworks are canceled due to bad weather, they are rescheduled for Friday.
You can watch the fireworks display from the boardwalk or from the beach north of Casino Pier. You can also see the fireworks from the beach in Ortley Beach. If you have never had the chance to watch the fireworks from the boardwalk you should experience it at least once. It is a great fun to watch the show from the middle of a large crowd. Whenever a large or showy firework explodes in the sky, you can't help but contribute to the chorus of ooo's and aaa's that spontaneously arises!
Here is a video of the fireworks finale from the 4th of July fireworks show in 2007.
