The First Friday events in New Hope Borough, including the highly anticipated fireworks show, have been postponed from this Friday due to concerns about weather.

Organizers have rescheduled the event for Friday, August 11.

“We apologize for any inconvenience, but we promise the wait will be worth it! Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to see you all on the 11th for an unforgettable evening!” Visit New Hope posted on social media.

The return of First Friday, which is put on by the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce and New Hope Celebrates, will kick off next week at 5 p.m. on Friday in Lenape Park.

Visitors can indulge in a cool beverage at the park’s beer garden, or peruse the diverse range of creative works displayed by local artists and vendors along Stockton Avenue.

The festivities are also set to feature live music from local talent Matt Borish, whose melodies will waft through the park, inviting attendees to groove to his beats.

The highlight of the evening will be a fireworks display set to light up the night sky along the Delaware River at 9:20 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to take full advantage of what the borough has to offer.

Organizers also said visitors can even stay the night at one of the bed and breakfast establishments in the area.

Parking is available at New Hope-Solebury High School and Union Square to accommodate visitors. Some locations might require a small fee to ensure quality and security.

Authorities have announced that beginning at 2 p.m. next Friday, Stockton Avenue between Bridge and Ferry streets will be closed to vehicles and open for pedestrian traffic only.
