The turf on both is being redone, closing the facilities.

"We usually get a few thousand people sitting on the fields," Police Chief Jaqueline Luthcke said. "This definitely threw a monkey wrench into the plans."

Alerts have been sent to village residents and merchants, but, as Luthcke noted, many spectators come from miles around.

"It's never been a sanctioned place," the chief said. "The village just allowed it to happen."

There's paid seating at Veteran's Field off North Maple Avenue, with proceeds going to the non-profit, all-volunteer Ridgewood Fourth of July Celebration organization.

Gates open at 6 p.m.

This year's theme, "All-American Summer," celebrates backyard barbeques, baseball games, outdoor concerts, camping, fairs, cross country road trips, driving to the Jersey Shore and more.
