New Handicapped Parking Area for Ridgewood July Fourth Fireworks

The handicapped parking area for the Ridgewood Fourth of July fireworks has been moved to the parking lot at the corner of Meadowbrook Avenue and Northern Parkway.  This move was necessitated by an increase to the safety zone surrounding the fireworks. 

Disabled patrons may be dropped off at the parking lot behind Veteran’s Field, located at Fairway Road and Northern Parkway.  Vehicles will then need to park in the lot at Meadowbrook Avenue and Northern Parkway. 

Please be aware that the vehicles may not be able to return to pick up the disabled patron until after the other patrons have left Veteran’s Field.  Pedestrian and vehicular traffic following the fireworks is always heavy and there may be a significant delay when bringing your car from Meadowbrook Avenue and Northern Parkway back to Fairway Road and Northern Parkway.  The disabled patron
should expect to wait before they are able to get back to their car following
the fireworks.

The Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration Committee has worked closely with the
Ridgewood Police and Fire Departments as well as our fireworks exhibitor,
Fireworks Extravaganza, to plan a safe evening for all of our patrons.  After many meetings and great discussion, this was the safest and best option for all involved.
