Binney Park, Old Greenwich
High crowd · Arrive by 7:00 PM · park · Free
Greenwich's SECOND simultaneous neighborhood show — same night as Tod's Point (Thursday July 2, 2026), Binney show at ~9:10 PM, BEFORE the Tod's Point show at ~9:35 PM. Rain date July 11.

Roger Sherman Baldwin Park, Greenwich Harbor
Medium crowd · Arrive by 7:30 PM · waterfront · Free
This 6.3-acre waterfront park on Greenwich Harbor (100 Arch St) offers open Long Island Sound/harbor sightlines and is one of the most publicly accessible vantage points in central Greenwich — no beach pass required. Beside the Island Beach ferry docks; own public parking lot (entrance feels like a maintenance drive — keep going). Just off I-95 Exit 3, short walk from Metro-North Greenwich station. Arrive by 7:30 PM for the July 2 show. Show type: fireworks.
Delamar Greenwich Harbor — Harbor-View King Room/Suite with Terrace
Low crowd · hotel room · Paid
Luxury boutique hotel (82 rooms, 500 Steamboat Rd) directly on Greenwich Harbor. Request a HARBOR-VIEW king room or suite — these face south/southwest over the harbor and Sound with a private terrace; the 4th 'Belvedere Floor' has the best harbor views and concierge service. The floor plan is small — harbor view cannot be guaranteed at booking by floor alone; call to confirm and re-request at check-in. Book 2–3 months ahead for the July 2 show date. Show type: fireworks.
⚠️ Call the hotel directly to confirm July 4th rooftop access, view quality, and whether a ticketed event is running — online information for this venue was not available at research time.
L'escale, the Delamar's French-Mediterranean restaurant, has a harbor-facing terrace right on the water — a polished spot for a July 2 dinner timed to the harbor fireworks. Reserve a waterfront/terrace table (not interior) several weeks out for the show date; expect a high-end dinner check rather than a fixed ticket. The terrace faces the harbor/Sound for over-water sightlines. Valet parking on-site. Show type: fireworks.

Cos Cob / Riverside Waterfront (Greenwich Point Road shoreline)
Low crowd · Arrive by 8:00 PM · waterfront · Free
The Riverside/Cos Cob shoreline neighborhoods along the Mianus River and inner Sound coves offer quieter distant views of the Tod's Point/Binney shows for those avoiding the gated Point. Street parking is residential-permit-restricted in marked zones — park legally outside zoned streets and walk to a public shore vantage. Arrive by 8 PM. Lower-elevation cove views mean only the higher aerial shells clear the tree line. Show type: fireworks.
Greenwich Point Park — Main Beach (southwest sand)
High crowd · Arrive by 6:00 PM · waterfront · Free
The main bathing beach at Tod's Point faces SW across the Sound toward Long Island, giving broad unobstructed sightlines to the over-water barge. Same access rules as the rocky point: OnePass beach pass (everyone 5+) plus resident vehicle permit required May–Oct; vehicle gate closes 8 PM or at capacity. Arrive by 6 PM and bring chairs. Show date is Thursday July 2, 2026 (rain date July 11). Show type: fireworks.
Backcountry Greenwich — Round Hill Road High Ground
Low crowd · elevated · Free
Elevated backcountry Greenwich around Round Hill Road can catch distant glimpses of the highest aerial shells from the Sound-side shows on a clear night — a low-key option for residents wanting to avoid all crowds and gate restrictions. This is residential with no public lot, so it works mainly for those with a private home or host. Only the highest bursts clear the tree line; expect distant, occasional views. Show type: fireworks.
