Summary
The Recreation Committee proposed Byram Fest on Aug. 22, 2026, featuring Serpico Pyrotechnics for fireworks, DJ Louie as a new vendor, themed inflatables, community participation from the Sussex County Library and local nonprofits, and 11 food trucks.
Councilwoman Franco outlined plans for Byram Fest 2026, scheduled for Aug. 22 from 4 to 9 p.m., emphasizing budget-conscious vendor selection and a patriotic theme marking the nation's 250th birthday.
Highlights presented included a fireworks recommendation from Serpico Pyrotechnics; DJ Louie selected to provide DJ and emcee services at cost savings; Fun Times recommended for inflatables with a red-white-and-blue theme; entertainment such as face painting, a petting zoo, character appearances, and a photo booth; participation by the Sussex County Library bookmobile at no cost; and 11 food trucks arranged by Mega Bite Events offering diverse cuisines.
Councilwoman Franco said the Recreation Committee vetted multiple quotes for fireworks and vendors and aimed to manage expenses while delivering a community celebration. No formal action was recorded beyond the committee's recommendation.
