Fourth of July fireworks and festivities are being held in plenty of New Jersey locations in 2025. See our town-by-town listing.

Independence Day is always filled with festivities, and one of the many 4th of July traditions that always hold true is fireworks.

The 13-year-old boy died in Minnesota after a firework he held in a tube away from his body shot out from the opposite end and struck him in the chest. The local sheriff's office said that the boy fell to the ground and that bystanders performed chest compressions, but that their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.
