From organizing historical reenactments to planning parades and fireworks, the township is eager to gather input from its residents.
Attendees will have the chance to meet fellow community members, share their excitement for the upcoming festivities, and collaborate on a vision for how Whippany and Hanover Township can highlight their historical significance. With the 2026 celebrations just around the corner, this meeting marks the first step in what promises to be a patriotic and festive occasion for all.
