Thousands Enjoy Independence Day Fireworks Celebrations


Despite a weekend of rainy weather, the County July 4 fireworks were able to go off as scheduled. The Recreation Department worked closely with the National Weather Service throughout the weekend to determine projected weather forecasts for the evening.

Mid-afternoon, the Recreation updated residents through press releases, website updates, social media, Alert Montgomery and text messages that the concerts and firework displays would go on as scheduled. Approximately 12,000 people attended the Germantown celebration and the Kensington turnout was 9,000.
