Here's what's in store:

• Enjoy a chilled beverage at a beer garden located in Lenape Park.
• Explore creative works from local artists and vendors on Stockton Street, which will be closed to traffic between Ferry and Bridge.
• Groove to live music from the talented Matt Borish at the park.
• And be amazed by the stunning fireworks display beginning at 9 p.m. over the Delaware River between New Hope and Lambertville. The fireworks are presented by the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce and New Hope Celebrates.

Organizers recommend arriving early to #ExploreNewHope and "discover the incredible shops and delightful restaurants that our beautiful town has to offer. Spend the day, enjoy the night (or even spend the night at one of the town's Bed and Breakfasts), and make memories to last a lifetime."

Parking will be available at the New Hope-Solebury High School and at Union Square on Bridge Street. Some locations may require a fee to ensure quality and security.

Beginning at 2 p.m. Stockton Avenue will be closed between Bridge and Ferry and will only be open to pedestrian traffic.
