Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that the City of Bayonne’s Independence Day Celebration will be held on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at the lower level of DiDomenico-16th Street Park, beginning at 6:30 pm, weather permitting.  There will be a rain date of Thursday, July 3, if needed.  If the rain date were utilized, the same times and procedures announced for Wednesday, July 2, would apply to Thursday, July 3, 2025.

On July 2, there will be plenty of attractions for both children and adults.

Free children's inflatable rides will be available from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The rides will be stationed in the old amphitheater, which is located at the southeastern corner of the park's lower level.

The Suspects band will perform at 7:00 p.m.  The New Jersey-based group specializes in dance party music from the 1980’s.  The Suspects will play at the municipal amphitheater, which is located at the southwestern corner of the lower level of the park, near Newark Bay.

The fireworks are scheduled to go off at approximately 9:15 p.m. The fireworks show will run for about 30 minutes.

Chairs will not be provided for the fireworks and the concert on July 2, due to the expected size of the crowd.  Spectators are asked to bring their own chairs on July 2 and on future concert dates.  A limited number of chairs will be provided at later concerts this summer.

Food vendors will be located in the parking lot.
