July 4 events canceled
In normal times, Haddonfield observes the
anniversary of the nation’s independence with a
celebration downtown and fireworks on July 3 and a
parade on July 4.
But these are not normal times.
The Haddonfield Celebrations Association, the
not-for-profit community group that plans and
raises funds for these and several other annual
events, has decided that a public celebration of
America’s independence will not be practical in
2020.
“We’re disappointed, of course,” said Ken
Tomlinson, the Association’s president, “but we
decided it was best to be safe rather than sorry.”
Arrangement for the fireworks and parade are
typically made several months in advance.
“Each year, we pay deposits to vendors and bands,”
Tomlinson said, “but it didn’t make sense to do that
this year, since there are many unknowns, and many
decisions are out of our hands.”
Tomlinson said the Celebrations Association
recognized that its decision will disappoint not just
residents, but many others from throughout the
region.
“Hundreds of out-of-town folks come to Haddonfield
for our spectacular fireworks and one of the best
parades in the Delaware Valley,” he said. “We will
look forward to welcoming them back in 2021.”
