I would always look forward to having a great July 4th Barbecue with family and friends, and then walking to the nearby New Rochelle High School with blanket in tow, and enjoying the fireworks. Unfortunately, that location is no longer BUT we still celebrate July 4th with fireworks at Five Islands Park. Parking is always hard but worthwhile once you are there and ensconced in your "spot!." Friends invited us to the Mamaroneck Harbor Fireworks display once on their boat which was docked, but you actually felt the firework cinders rain down on you as they made their way back to earth so a little too close there (on the boat)..Wherever you go though, it is always a great family and friends event.
