So close to our Nation’s Capital and the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, what is the Fourth of July without fireworks? The Fourth of July is about our nation’s independence, and fireworks add to the celebration, they are the piece de resistance. Where can you find fireworks in Southern Maryland? At Abberly Crest we’re glad you asked!

Chesapeake Beach—July 3rd at dusk, right in front of the Rod-n-Reel located. It’s the largest fireworks show on the bay!

Solomons  Fireworks—July 4th at dusk. This show can be viewed from the Riverwalk.

Hollywood Volunteer Fire Dept.—July 3rd On Route 235 just north of the Leonardtown. The family event starts at 11 am. The live band, No Green Jelly Beenz, starts at 7 pm, and the fireworks start at dusk. The band will resume after the fireworks until 11 pm.

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July from everyone at Abberly Crest Apartment Homes.

You are hosting the 4^th of July BBQ. You have ribs, chicken, potato salad, six different kinds of cake, and nothing healthy for the kids or anyone else for that matter. You don’t want to put on ten pounds in one weekend. As well, you want the kids to eat healthy, which is hard enough as it is especially since; you know the kids are good for hiding their fruits and veggies in their napkins and disposing of them. Take one of your cakes off the menu and replace it with this. It will look so cool to kids they will eat it up.
