Bell Works Holmdel is bringing the fun for the Fourth of July with the return of Red, White BOOM! Fireworks.

The family-friendly affair will transition to a late night celebration, running June 30, from 5 p.m. to midnight. The rain date is July 1. This year’s annual celebration coincides with the U.S.’s semiquincentennial, or 250th birthday.

The event highlights the metro-burb’s role as a hub for enterprise and the community. It also puts the perks of Inspired by Somerset Development‘s 2 million-square-foot property on full display.

The party gets started on The Block. Attendees can enjoy a bite from one of Bell Works‘ several eateries, shop at the mixed-use property’s retail shops or take part in some on-site entertainment. Bar Bella will also set up in the Main Atrium, offering a pop-up bar under mood-setting string lights.

Entertainment will include DJ Ian Gray, performing live at Bar Bella from 5–9 p.m. Sippi Kids will also host a pop-up on the turf with a bounce house for children.

The big show will kick off about 9:15 p.m. Bell Works will offer dedicated viewing areas for the fireworks display in the property’s Yellow and Red parking lots. Visitors are welcome to bring their own seating.

An after-party will follow on the Roof Deck, featuring live music by DJ CFACZ and drinks from Bar Bella and Mabel.

Need to know:

• Attendees should park in the Purple and Blue lots and then head to the Yellow and Red lots for viewing
• The roof deck will host a private event until the conclusion of the fireworks display
• Participating eateries include: Corbo & Sons, Jozu, Jersey Freeze, Estrella Azul, Mabel, Miznon and Mezza Luna

Last month, Bell Works closed out May hosting the return of the Monmouth Film Festival, further underscoring the diversity and flexibility of the space to accommodate events of different sizes and formats.

Bell Works Holmdel is also getting in on World Cup fever. The property kicked off its Summer of Soccer series June 11, running to July 19. Bar Bella will offer live streaming of World Cup matches on the Roof Deck and in the Bar Bella Inverno & Lounge area during building hours. Bar Bella will also feature daily happy hour specials and select extended hours throughout the tournament, with special opening times on certain match days starting at 3p.m.
