There is always a morning parade here in Ridgewood. Even if we wanted to sleep late on a day off we couldn't. The parade stages right in front of my house and they start arriving at 5:30 am LOL.

Afternoon is for eating, drinking and sometimes taking a nap after getting up so early. Most people grill outdoors - summerfood is the order of the day.

Evening is for the biggest fireworks display in Northern NJ. Unfortunately, it is supposed to pour tomorrow night so the fireworks will probably be on Saturday which is the rain date.
