June 30, 2022 (Chesapeake Beach, MD) - The Mayor and Town Council will hold the annual Town of Chesapeake Beach Independence Day Fireworks Display on July 3rd at dusk. 

The Town will light the sky red, white, and blue with titanium salutes and several custom effects from (2) two barges located just east of the Fishing Creek jetty walls. Within the Town of Chesapeake Beach, the display will be viewable along the Fishing Creek bridge RT261, Kellam's field, Chesapeake Beach Water Park (with the purchase of a pass), or Veteran's Memorial Park. Bring a blanket for a family fun evening at Kellam's field. *Glass containers and alcoholic beverages are prohibited. 

View the Fireworks at the Water Park

Traffic Plan for Twin Beaches on the night of Fireworks:   The traffic plan is set up to eliminate all left-hand turns on a portion of Route 261 going through the Twin Beaches, eliminating the need to stop traffic randomly and enabling traffic to flow with minimal stopping.  The centerline of Route 261 will be blocked with delineation devices that will prohibit vehicles from making U-turns. Traffic north of Route 260 along Route 261 on the east side of Route 261 must make right turns and exit left on 5th Street to Boyd’s Turn Road to Route 260. Traffic on the west side of Route 261 must make a right turn and exit on 27th Street to G Street to Route 260. Traffic south of Route 260 along Route 261 on the east side of Route 261 must make a right turn and must turn left onto Route 260. Traffic on the west side of Route 261 must turn right and continue along Route 261 to Summer City Blvd or continue south to Ponds Wood Road and proceed to Maryland Route 4.​

Barge locations: The Town will position (2) two barges just off the Fishing Creek jetty wall. The display will be loaded in Galesville, MD and transported to the display location on (2) two barges by tug boat. This year the event will take place by remote connection with very few fireworks being directly lit by pyrotechnicians.
