County's Two Fireworks Displays Cancelled

Due to the continued disruption caused by the severe summer storm last week and the need to apply all available County resources to recovery, Montgomery County has made the decision to cancel both of its fireworks celebrations and related events. The Mid-County Sparkles! Fireworks display was planned for Einstein High School in Kensington and the Germantown Glory fireworks were scheduled at the Maryland SoccerPlex in the South Germantown Recreational Park. In addition, the Mid-County site is still very hazardous due to fallen tree limbs and debris making conditions extremely dangerous. While this is unfortunate, safety must of course come first.
