2012 KaBoom Fireworks Display Cancelled

Redbankgreen.com and Middletown Patch are both reporting today that this years KaBoom fireworks display over the Navesink has been cancelled. Security costs and inadequate funding for the event is sighted as the reason for the demise of this years upcoming event. RedbankGreen is also reporting that the Rumson fireworks display may be cancelled as well.

I am sorry to hear about this, there aren't many places in the area that people can go watch a 4th of July fireworks display anymore. Personally, I haven't seen the KaBoom display in years,  I have avoided the area because I didn't want to get all mixed up in the crowd and then have to fight all the traffic. The last time I went it took nearly two hours to get out of town.

Still I hate to see it go, I guess if I want to get my fill of some fireworks I'll just have to head over to the Keansburg boardwalk on a Friday night during the summer and catch them.
