IMPORTANT UPDATE: NEW SCHEDULE & SAFETY INFO FOR JULY 4TH AT AMANDA’S FIELD 📢

To protect our community, volunteers, and vendors from the extreme heat index forecasted for tomorrow afternoon, Upper Township is delaying the opening of our Independence Day celebration. Pushing the schedule back ensures we can all celebrate together safely during a cooler part of the day.

🗓️ NEW SCHEDULE FOR TOMORROW:

Gates Open: 5:00 PM (Food trucks, vendors, and the beer garden will be ready!)

Live Music Begins: 6:00 PM

☀️ BEFORE YOU VENTURE OUT: HEAT SAFETY & HYDRATION ADVICE
Your safety is our top priority. Please take these steps to prepare before heading to Amanda's Field:

Hydrate Early: Don't wait until you arrive to start drinking water. Begin hydrating tonight and throughout the day tomorrow.

Dress Smart: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing.

Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen before you leave and bring plenty to reapply. Hats and sunglasses are highly recommended.

Know Your Limits: Pace yourself, utilize shaded areas, and check in on family members, children, and seniors. Emergency medical personnel will be on-site to assist anyone experiencing heat-related issues.

🌦️ A NOTE ON THE EVENING FORECAST:
We are also closely monitoring potential evening weather developments. We want to get the entire event in, including the fireworks display, but we will post any further tactical updates or adjustments right here on this page as the situation develops.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep Upper Township safe and celebrating. See you at 5:00 PM! 🇺🇸✨ ... See MoreSee Less

This is what's at stake. 🌊

The difference between these two photos isn't just sand. It’s storm protection, thriving wildlife habitat, booming local economies, and the beaches that generations of families have called home. Beach nourishment is how we fight back against erosion, rising seas, and coastal storms.

What you're seeing in the "after" photo is a shoreline restored, a buffer rebuilt, and a future protected.

Our coastal communities need a unified voice now more than ever. That's why we're saying #YEStoBeaches. Sign the petition (link in @americancoastalcoalition bio) and tell Congress that America's coastlines are worth protecting — not just after a disaster, but before the next one strikes.

A massive thank you to Ted Kingston for providing the powerful photography that brings the importance of this work into focus for us all.

Beaches Need Sand. Beach nourishment is essential for the economies, habitats, and livelihood of coastal communities. But how does the nourishment process work?

--> Identify Sand Source: Beach-quality sand, often found in barrier island inlets or offshore, is sourced to match the native beach material in terms of grain size, color, and composition.

--> Dredging and Transport: Sand is then dredged from the seafloor and transported to the beach via hydraulic pipelines. In some cases sand is trucked from quarries on land.

--> Placement: Sand is carefully spread along the beach across a specific template with an engineered slope to form a protective berm. Dunes are created for extra protection and are vegetated with native dune grasses to anchor the sand.

To support beach nourishment and say #YEStoBeaches, visit the link in @americancoastalcoalition bio, or sign our petition at: https://americancoastalcoalition.org/yestobeaches2…

We also want to extend a sincere thank you to Ted Kingston, whose incredible photography helps us visualize the beauty and importance of these coastal projects. ... See MoreSee Less
