Due to predicted bad weather, the city of Newark Liberty Day celebration and fireworks display has been postponed and will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, July 5. The event will still be held at the University of Delaware's Athletic Complex beginning at 6 p.m., with the fireworks display starting at dusk.

Free parking will be available in the University of Delaware Athletic Complex lots, including those surrounding the UD Stadium and Bob Carpenter Center, as well as the Woods Lot (off of Route 4, opening at 7 p.m.) and the South STAR Campus parking lot.

Alcohol is not permitted during the event, and the community is asked to leave pets at home and be sure they are secured safely during the fireworks display, as the noise can frighten animals.
