If you ask Hudson Valley residents where to find the best views in the Valley, many of them would tell you the Walkway Over the Hudson. And they’d be right. No matter where you look from the Walkway, it’s gorgeous. The river, the mountains, the sunrises and sunsets. So, it only stands to reason that if you want the best view of fireworks on the 4th of July, the Walkway Over the Hudson is the place to be.

If you’re looking for a perfect place for you and your family to see fireworks this 4th of July, get your tickets now to see them from the Walkway. The Walkway Over the Hudson will be open to ticket holders only to view the City of Poughkeepsie fireworks display. The Walkway will close to the general public at 4:30PM. for preparations. The bridge will the reopen at 6:30PM to those with valid tickets and fireworks are scheduled to launch between 8:15 - 8:30PM.
