Friday Night Fireworks are back

When the sun goes down, the lights come up — with Friday Night Fireworks over Coney Island.

Families will enjoy this borough tradition that can be seen from miles around. Beautiful sprays of light bath Luna Park, the Parachute Jump, the Thunderbolt, and the sandy shores of the People’s Playground. Before and after the display Luna Park is open with rides for every age.

But the best place to see the display is on the Boardwalk in Luna Park.

Friday Night Fireworks now through Aug. 27, beginning at 9:30 pm. Free, but admission to Luna Park, amusement rides, and attractions is extra.

Luna Park (W. 10th Street and the Boardwalk in Coney Island; lunaparknyc.com).
