NEW HOPE & LAMBERTVILLE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE PRESENT FRIDAY NIGHT FIREWORKS!

15 WEEKS OF LIGHTS OVER THE RIVER

Friday, May 28 – Friday, September 3, 2010
Shops Open Until 10:00 PM

The Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce and Lambertville Chambers of Commerce will present Friday Night Fireworks, a spectacle of lights over the Delaware River. Every Friday night at 9:30 pm starting May 28, 2010 for 15 weeks and ending September 3, 2010, a ten-minute firework show conducted by Garden State Fireworks will illuminate the sky for the summer season. In addition, the retail businesses on both sides of the river will stay open late until 10:00 pm. Visit www.NewHopeLambertvilleFireworks.com for more information.

“We are overjoyed to have approvals from both river communities to make this summer promotion happen,” commented Bill Scandone, member of New Hope Chamber of Commerce and New Hope Council Borough. “Our committee is working endlessly to ensure fantastic Friday evenings and memorable occasions for both residents and tourists.” Nick Gialias, owner of The Logan Inn further added, “Other resort communities have adopted a similar firework program and it’s been a huge success for revitalizing towns that have been hurt through bad economy and weather. We hope to remind everyone that New Hope is alive and well.”

The Chambers of Commerce have received overwhelming support from their members, non-members and residents to support and finance the endeavor. A streamlined happy hour of drink and food specials from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm is in the works for all restaurants. With happy hour, fireworks and late night shopping, New Hope & Lambertville will definitely be the hot spot this summer. The Chambers will be publishing a summer program guide, which lists the best viewing spots, patrons and benefactors and general information such as parking and cancellations due to inclement weather.
