Baltimore didn’t have city-sponsored fireworks on the Fourth of July, but it will have them on Labor Day weekend.
The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA) announced that the city will hold an “End of Summer Extravaganza” at the Inner Harbor amphitheater and along the promenade on Sunday, September 5, starting at 5:30 p.m. and culminating with a 15-minute fireworks display at 8:30 p.m.
Featuring a theme of “Fall Back Safely,” the event is sponsored by the Mayor and City of Baltimore and produced by BOPA with support from the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore. Before the fireworks, the event will feature DJs playing hits for people strolling along the promenade.
As a possible part of the Fall Back Safely theme, BOPA says, it’s also exploring the idea of working with the Baltimore City Health Department to offer free COVID vaccinations and COVID tests and giving out face masks and hand sanitizer. Earlier this month, the health department gave COVID vaccinations and vouchers for free admission to the National Aquarium to 33 people who came over a two-day period.
The September 5 fireworks show by Pyrotecnico will be choreographed to music, and the fireworks will be shot from a barge hauled to the Inner Harbor. Admission is free but attendees will be encouraged to practice social distancing.
