Area fireworks this Fourth of July will show in Greenbelt, Bladensburg and Laurel.
Greenbelt will host fireworks on Thursday, July 4, beginning at dusk, at the Buddy Attick Lake Park. Bladensburg is having fireworks, along with food trucks, amusements and pony rides, starting at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 5, at the Bladensburg Waterfront Park. Laurel’s show begins at 9:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 6, at Laurel Lake Field after a day featuring a parade, car show and family activities.
College Park will not have a fireworks display this summer. The city discontinued its holiday extravaganza – which featured music, food and fireworks on the University of Maryland campus, in 2022 because of lingering, post-pandemic supply chain issues and did not reinstate it last year because of Purple Line construction around the campus parking lot where the festivities had been held.
