I erred in stating that Boating on the Hudson has this years fireworks list. It hasn't been posted yet. What are they waiting for? However, I managed to dig up a few dates on my own. Fireworks are scheduled in a number of Hudson River towns from June through August. Loopers will have a good chance of seeing at least one display. From earliest to latest: Kingston - June 26 Bear Mountain - July 1 Haverstraw - July 1 Ossining - July 1 Congers - July 3 Albany - July 4 Highland - July 4 Saugerties - July 4 Fort Edward - July 8 Peekskill - Aug 6 Clermont - Aug 13 And, of course, there is always the superlative Macy's fireworks display in New York City on July 4. Check with the USCG for permitted anchorage locations. Anchorage in the Hudson is easy for the events at Bear Mountain, Haverstraw, Ossining and Peekskill. Most are usually combined with celebrations and festivities ashore earlier in the day. Larry Z.
