Every year as Independence Day is celebrated, many ask if the borough fireworks program, one of the most spectacular pyrotechnic displays in the region, is returning. Held for over a decade in the borough and enjoyed by hundreds of families, the event was privately funded via donations. Over the years, however, donations began lacking.

Although there are no celebrations or programs on tap in the borough for the Fourth of July, American flags, have been placed on utility poles on Second and Chestnut streets and will remain through the Labor Day holiday.
