McLean Hosting 4th of July Fireworks Show With DJ, Food Vendors
You don't have to head to the National Mall or even downtown Fairfax to get your fireworks fix this Independence Day.
Don't feel like battling the crowds on the National Mall or even going to downtown Fairfax for a fireworks show on the 4th of July? McLean is hosting its own fireworks show this upcoming Independence Day.
McLean will be holding the show at a new venue this year: Churchill Road Elementary School at 7100 Churchill Road. Last year, the fireworks show was held at Cooper Middle School.
The grounds will open at 6:30 p.m. on July 4. The fireworks will take place the following day if there is rain.
