SALISBURY, Md. — The City of Salisbury is partnering with the organizers of Red, White and Boom to celebrate Independence Day and America’s 250th anniversary with a full evening of family activities and fireworks on Saturday, July 4.
The celebration begins with Red, White & Play from 5 to 8 p.m. at James M. Bennett High School and concludes with the annual Red, White and Boom Fireworks display at approximately 9 p.m.
Free and open to the public, Red, White & Play will feature food trucks, music, games, bouncy houses and activities for all ages. The event is designed to encourage families to arrive early, enjoy the holiday together and spend time with friends and neighbors before the fireworks begin.
As communities across the country mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, Salisbury’s celebration highlights the importance of local traditions and the organizations, volunteers and community partners who help make them possible.
For many families, Red, White and Boom has become a Fourth of July tradition. This year, the City is proud to work alongside the event organizers to build on that tradition by creating more opportunities for families to gather and celebrate before the fireworks.
“This is our 14th year hosting Red, White, and Boom, and we look forward to collaborating with the City of Salisbury on the Red, White, and Play event. This event is open to all ages and provides a great opportunity for community fun and celebration,” said Brian Nelson, organizer of Red, White, and Boom.
Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and plan to spend the evening at the event. Food, activities and entertainment will be available throughout Red, White & Play before the fireworks begin.
For public safety, East College Avenue from South Division Street to Arthur Court and South Division Street from College Avenue to Christenson Lane will close beginning at approximately 8 p.m. in preparation for the fireworks display.
Visitors are encouraged to arrive early and plan accordingly.
