4th of July fireworks events in and around Frederick, Maryland offer something for everybody!
Whether you’re looking for an action packed day of food, live music, and activities OR you just want to find a quiet little spot to sit with the family after dinner and then go home, Frederick County and our surrounding area has it all!
4th Of July Fireworks displays will be all over the area
Celebrating America’s independence with fireworks is just what we do here in the good old USA.
It’s a great day to get together with friends and family, enjoy good food and drink, and huddle together as the moon rises in the sky to ooooh and ahhhh at the colorful fireworks bursting in the sky.
And while celebrating, ya just gotta wear your red, white, and blue!
We found the perfect accessories to add to your patriotism!
These Classic American Patriotic Flag Mirror Sunglasses are only $8 on Amazon and will totally raise your cool factor.
We also found these patriotic glow sticks (Amazon) for the kiddos to wear once it starts getting dark, so you can still keep an eye on them.
This American Flag Wine Tumbler (Amazon) is perfect for the occasion but doesn’t scream 4th of July, so you can use it year-round and it’s masculine enough for the guys.
But if you really want to scream 4th of July and patriotism, go ahead and get this YETI 30 ounce Dipped Patriotic Flags Tumbler.
Everybody else in your group will have total cup envy!
Lastly, you need a nice tote bag to carry everything in!
This Americana SoHo Collection mesh bag (Amazon) has lots of pockets for all your stuff.
