SOLOMONS, Md. — Good news for Independence Day celebrants! After earlier uncertainty due to weather, the Solomons Fourth of July fireworks display is back on for tonight, Sunday, July 5th, weather permitting.
The fireworks are expected to light up the Patuxent River between 8 and 9:15 p.m., giving residents and visitors another chance to celebrate the holiday with a spectacular waterfront display.
Because the decision to move forward was made late in the day, organizers say tonight’s event will be a scaled-back celebration, and attendees should plan accordingly.
