About the Jones Beach Fireworks Spectacular
The Jones Beach Fireworks Spectacular is one of Long Island’s premier holiday events. In 2025, the show is scheduled to start at 9:30 PM on Friday, July 4th. The 30-minute display features over 5,000 shells launched from a barge just offshore and is choreographed to a soundtrack of patriotic hits.
Music will be simulcast on WALK 97.5 FM and KJOY-98.3 FM, creating a multi-sensory celebration synchronized to every colorful explosion. From classic anthems to modern renditions of American favorites, the audio-visual pairing enhances the entire experience.
The fireworks are visible from Jones Beach State Park’s Central Mall, but the real hidden gem is watching it all unfold from the water. No crowds. No distractions. Just you, your people, and the skyline lighting up above. Click here to learn more about the Fire Work show!
Thousands gather annually to witness this sky-high tribute to American independence, and viewing it from the comfort of a private boat gives you a VIP experience that’s hard to match. Whether you’re local to Long Island or visiting from afar, this event is not to be missed.
