It is 4th of July week and the weather is steamy in the DC Metro area. There is also a forecast for a potential storm on Friday (4th of July), so be sure to check the weather forecast and event sites before heading out to enjoy the festivities.
So assuming the weather coopoerates, where can you enjoy fireworks in the Northern Virginia area?
1. Fireworks on the National Mall. If you have never had the opportunity to watch the fireworks explode over our Nation's Capital, it is not to be missed. The fireworks begin at 9:10 p.m. and can be seen from many places in Washington D.C. and Arlington, VA. For more information, visit D.C. Fireworks.
2. Fireworks at Lake Fairfax Park, Reston, VA. Fairfax County hosts the fireworks at Lake Fairfax Park and the U.S. Army Field Band will accompany. Go early and spend time at the Watermine and take the kiddies to the afternoon puppet shows. More information at Lake Fairfax, VA Fireworks
