Tonight would have been the night.
The annual Red Bank fireworks show, a half-century-old tradition branded as Kaboom for most of the past decade, would have been lofted into the sky above the Navesink River tonight, as always on July 3.
But the event was canceled in February amid fundraising difficulties and security concerns.
