July 4th Fireworks Celebration - 2025
2025-07-04 15:00 - 22:00 | Charles County Fairgrounds, 8440 Fairgrounds Road, La Plata, MD, 20646, United States
The Charles County Fair Board will be presenting an outstanding Fourth of July
Fireworks demonstration (brought to you by Innovative Pyrotechnic Concepts, LLC).
Before the fireworks display, come and enjoy some great food (more vendors than last year!) pony rides and outstanding live music from some local talented people. The grand finale of our celebration will be a digital pyro-musical display shot off and thundering to a multicultural musical blast!
This year we will have a no open flame policy inside the gate. We ask that you do not have a grill with a flame or sparklers as the ground is very dry. If you are using a flame outside of the gate in the parking lot we ask that you practice fire prevention- have water or a fire extinguisher readily available.
Free admission! Gates open at 3:00 pm. For more info, call 301-932-1234!
