ADK Taste recommendation.
Parking fills quickly on the Fourth of July. Arrive before mid-afternoon if possible, spend time browsing Bolton Landing's shops and cafés, then claim a spot on the Rogers Park lawn well before sunset. Staying a little longer after the fireworks helps avoid the post-show traffic as people leave town.
