New Hope and Lambertville Friday Night Fireworks: 2016

The annual Friday Night Lights event put on by the New Hope, Pennsylvania and Lambertville, New Jersey Chambers Of Commerce, is a massive hit with area locals. Each weekend, the celebration draws a sizable crowd of people enjoying warm summer weekends with a bang and a boom while shopping in the art galleries or dining in restaurants.

It was my first time shooting fireworks at this location, and it was something I wanted to do for a while.

fireworks, water, new hope

Bespoke Meats Bacon Beer Jam

I bought this Bacon Beer Jam from Bespoke Meats @bespokebacon at the New Hope Beer Festival. Ingredients are stout beer, sweet onions and dark brown sugar. Delicious! I'm enjoying with an Ayinger Ur-Weisse. #beer #stout #jam #bacon #urweisse #ayinger #crackers #ritz #newhopebeerfest #summer

The View from New Hope

[exif id="18221"]

We decided to have a family brunch in New Hope. We didn't know that that day was the Shad Festival. The traffic through Lambertville was terrible. We had planned on a noon lunch, but by the time we got to our chosen restaurant, there were 30 minutes wait.

We then picked what I think is one of the worst restaurants in New Hope.

What softened the rough edges of this trip was the view. I took these images just after had lunch.
