A few notes about the evening fireworks display:
- There will be no entry on the Fort after 8 p.m.
- The ideal location to view the fireworks is in the event area (Soccer Field) between Stillwell Drive and Patch Road.
- You may also view the fireworks from Wherry Quarter but you must arrive before 7 p.m. as there will be a family fun event taking place there as well.
