• Nothing says Independence Day quite like a parade and fireworks. The Township of Little Egg Harbor is hosting its very own parade on July 4th, beginning at 10 AM at the Village Shoppes Rt. 9 and travels to the Tuckerton seaport. Children’s events, a baby parade and free activities will be provided all day long, with a fabulous fireworks display to end the holiday at Tip Seaman Park.
