Atlantic City is all a buzz during this Fourth of July Celebration weekend! Here’s the Fireworks schedule for the weekend.

On July 4, 2011 at 9:20 pm, a spectacular fireworks demonstration will erupt in  the skies above Atlantic City’s Marina District, kicking off the nearly hour-long production.
9:45 pm, another display will illuminate the sky along the coastline of the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The show promises to be a breathtaking pyrotechnic display.  These show are FREE to the public with viewing areas at both places.
The fireworks display will be synchronized to music broadcast over 95.1 WAYV FM radio. Casinos across the city will tune their sound systems to feature the choreographed music as well.  Which is so cool.

Here are some tips and suggestions for a fun 4th:

- Atlantic City is super busy during Fourth of July Weekend.  Be ready for traffic congestion and tons of people.

-Take a jacket, it gets chilly at night especially near the water.

-Pop by a Dollar Store of a 5 Below and purchase your own glow necklaces, bracelets, and glow sticks for about 1/3 of what you’ll pay on the boardwalk. Make the kids and your wallet happy.

- If you’re already staying in AC, great!  If not get into the city early.

- There are plenty of attractions to occupy your time if you come into the city early.

-If your attending the boardwalk show, you can always bring your beach chair and blankets and grab a spot on the sand.

- You can have a picnic dinner on the beach.

- You can take the kids on the rides at the Steel Pier

-AC cruises hosts a fireworks boat tour that is 30.00 per person and you’ll enjoy the best views in town. DJ and cash bar on board.  Limited to 75 tickets

- When traveling in the city your best bet is to park and use public transportation to get around.  The Jitney runs every 15 minutes and is 2.20 a person.  On the boardwalk you can grab a rolling chair.
