Message from Asharoken Mayor Greg Letica:
June 21, 2019
Dear Neighbors:
It is hard to believe but in only two weeks we will once again have our spectacular 4th of July celebration. In order for the Village to continue to have its traditional bonfires, everyone must do all they can to make sure safety comes first. The Village has prepared guidelines for the bonfires which everyone must comply with. The two most important are that the bonfires cannot be more than six feet high and must be situated approximately at the mean high tide line.
Click here for the full list of guidelines.
I am writing today to give you plenty of time to plan ahead and properly locate your bonfire before July 4th. The police department will be inspecting the bonfires on July 4th; if yours is not in compliance, please follow their instructions to assure a safe holiday. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
Wishing everyone a terrific weekend,
Mayor Greg Letica
4th of July 2019 Fireworks:
The Village fireworks show is scheduled for Thursday, July 4, 2019.
The fireworks will be launched from a barge on the sound side of Asharoken Avenue
and will begin at approximately 9:15pm, weather permitting. (The raindate is Friday, July 5.)
Click here for more details and the full list of bonfire guidelines.
Residents and property owners, please remember there is no parking on any Village street
and there are no public parking facilities in Asharoken. Please make sure you and your
guests park only on your private property. Due to excessive traffic congestion, for everyone's
safety, all traffic and parking laws will be strictly enforced.
Check
asharoken.com through July 4 for last-minute updates.
As always, our police department will be patrolling the beach and personal fireworks are strictly forbidden.

Message from Asharoken Mayor Greg Letica:
June 14, 2019
Dear Neighbors:
On June 10th, I joined with a group of mayors, municipal and county leaders from across the nation to urgently request the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund be fully funded and made permanent. I firmly believe that the heroes of 9/11 deserve to know that they will have the medical monitoring and treatment for their 9/11-related injuries and illnesses for the rest of their lives.

I would like to wish all of the dads and granddads in Asharoken a very happy Father's Day!
Best regards
Mayor Greg Letica
