July 4th Fireworks Spectacular

This Independence Day, Friends of the Walkway invites the community to experience the City of Poughkeepsie 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular from the world's longest elevated pedestrian bridge. Secure your perch 212 feet above the Hudson River, eye level with the dazzling display before you. This year's celebration takes on special significance as communities across the nation commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States.
On Saturday, July 4 at 6 p.m., Walkway Over the Hudson will open exclusively to ticket holders offering panoramic twilight views and an unforgettable perspective on the professional fireworks show launching between 9-9:30 p.m.
Proceeds from ticket sales support Friends of the Walkway and are reinvested to realize our strategic vision to create meaningful, on-the-ground experiences for every person who steps into the park.
Friends of the Walkway is a proud sponsor of the City of Poughkeepsie's annual fireworks.
Space is strictly limited at this event and tickets required for all attendees. Children 12 and under are free but must reserve a ticket online in advance for admittance.
