"The Atlantic City Fireworks Spectacular is one of the ‘must-see' events of the summer season - there really is nothing more patriotic than an exciting, one-of-a-kind display of fireworks on the Fourth of July in Atlantic City. This event is yet another example of the business community coming together for the greater-good of Atlantic City - this type of camaraderie is smart business and we're proud to be doing our part," continued Mr. Marrandino.

The display easily surpasses other fireworks events due to the length of the shows, approximately 22 minutes in the Marina District followed immediately by 24 continuous minutes along the beach and Boardwalk. The event will feature an elaborate pyrotechnic event orchestrated by Fireworks by Grucci of New York. This "First Family of Fireworks," has produced state-of-the-art programs that have graced the sky at some of the world's biggest events including New Year's Eve in Times Square and the Grand Opening of the Atlantis and the Palm Jumeriah, Dubai UAE.

"The fireworks display is sure to be one of the premier events on the East Coast and is the perfect way to kick off the summer season in Atlantic City."

Kicking off the nearly hour-long production of fireworks will be the Marina District's 22-minute show. The show, which is slated to begin at 9:20pm, is free and open to the public. Weather and wind conditions may affect the timing of the fireworks show.

At approximately 9:45pm, just two short minutes after the conclusion of the Marina display, Fireworks by Grucci will illuminate the skies above Atlantic City's historic Boardwalk. Visitors along the Southern New Jersey coastline will be treated to a 24-minute breathtaking pyrotechnic display, one that can be seen from miles away.

All fireworks are choreographed to music, which is broadcast over 95.1 WAYV FM radio.
