Please note that some of the 2020 Independence Day Fireworks Displays actually take place on July 3rd in 2020. I have linked to the town (and city) websites so you can check out the source of the information yourself. I cannot be responsible for any municipalities that change their minds or change dates and time. And, I am definitely not responsible for the weather. Some of the towns and cities have listed raindates; some have not. Give a call to your local city hall or town council in advance of the 4th if you are worried about rain (and this year, who isn’t? I’m thinking about building an ark in my backyard).

● Best Summer Family Getaways in New York State – I think everyone knows I love New York! Hubby and I spend a lot of time traversing this great state, seeing and doing so much that is offered. New York State is mostly rural. While many people think of it as a concrete jungle due to NYC, the truth is New York State is mostly farmland, forests, parks, and waterways. While there are a plethora of indoor activities, New York State shines in the outdoor hiking, boating and sportsman areas – perfect for fun, adventurous family getaways!
