WASHINGTON, D.C. & BALTIMORE, MARYLAND

Naturally, the July 4th parade and fireworks display on the National Mall in our nation’s capital is a big to do. But if you’re looking for something dialed down a little bit, but not too much, check our fireworks in either Annapolis or Baltimore, M.D. In Annapolis, the parade starts at 6:30 PM and fireworks start at 9:15 at the Annapolis City Dock. Starting at 9:30 PM the display in Baltimore can be viewed from several locations in downtown and surround areas. Our personal favorite is grabbing a breezy high point in Federal Hill. Â
