Does Londonderry Have Fourth of July Fireworks?

The answer is no, but there are fireworks in neighboring Derry.

The answer, in a word, is no. Londonderry does not have a Fourth of July fireworks display. Instead, it typically has a fireworks display during Old Home Days in August.

However, Londonderry does have several fireworks stores if you're looking for sparklers or something a bit larger.

In addition, Derry does do a big fireworks show. This year's display is scheduled for Thursday, July 4, with a rain date of Friday, July 5.
