The township will hold its annual Independence Day fireworks display and Showcase of Performers at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Auten Road School.
"The fireworks display and the showcase have become a wonderful annual tradition," said Mayor Tony Gwiazdowski. "We’re looking forward to seeing everyone come out for an enjoyable evening."
The Showcase of Performers, presented by the Hillsborough Cultural and Arts Commission, will include the Kathleen Academy of Dance, Huxai Performing Arts Ensemble, the Hillsborough Rockettes and Rockets, Tony DiPaola, TDK Band and the Dancing Dads.
Residents are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets.
The fireworks display, presented by the Hillsborough Township Committee, will begin shortly after the performance. Since parking in the area will be limited, residents are asked to park in one of three satellite parking locations Hillsborough High School, Hillsborough Middle School and the Triangle Road Youth Football Complex. Free bus transportation will be provided to and from each parking area to the Auten Road School.
A limited amount of parking will be made available for the handicapped at the school itself.
Alcoholic beverages will not be permitted at the event since it is taking place on school property.
The rain date for the event is Sunday.
