Primo pyrotechnics views will cost you at one public location in Red Bank this July 3.
The Kaboom Fireworks Committee, apparently back on its feet through a revamped fundraising model, is backing off a previous plan to charge for views of the annual Independence Day fireworks show at three waterfront properties, and has decided on just one: Riverside Gardens Park.
The other two riverside locations, at the borough library and Marine Park, will remain free.
“They are on very, very sound financial footing,” Mayor Pasquale Menna said of the fireworks.
