There’s no better place to enjoy the 4th of July than in Baltimore. Whether you’re planning a quiet day at home or heading out for fun, Independence Day is a great opportunity to make memories with loved ones and soak up the summer spirit.
Here are some local ideas to help you (or your loved one) enjoy the holiday, whether it’s with family, friends, or a Companion by your side.
Watch Fireworks Over the Harbor
Nothing says the 4th of July like fireworks lighting up the sky, and Baltimore’s Inner Harbor show is one of the best around. You can catch the display from spots like Federal Hill Park, Canton Waterfront Park, or anywhere with a harbor view. A Companion can help plan a viewing spot, set up lawn chairs, or help with transportation home. Fireworks start around 9:00 p.m.
Take a Step Back in Time at Fort McHenry
Looking for a low-key historical outing? Visit Fort McHenry, the birthplace of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” On the 4th, you’ll find family-friendly events, flag-raising ceremonies, and walking paths along the water.
Host a Backyard (or Indoor) Picnic
Skip the crowds and celebrate from the comfort of your home with a picnic. Whip up simple red, white, and blue treats, sip iced lemonade, and enjoy some tunes. If you’re staying in, you can even bring the picnic indoors with decorations and a favorite movie. A Villi Companion can assist with food preparation, setup, and cleanup so you can focus on relaxing and enjoying the day.
Enjoy a Summer Concert
Baltimore hosts free and low-cost concerts throughout the summer, including over the 4th of July weekend. WTMD’s First Thursday Festival, as well as events at Druid Hill Park, are popular for their live music. Companions can assist with tickets and seating or join in on the fun to make it a shared experience.
Celebrate Your Own Way
Not every celebration needs fireworks or big events. Sometimes, a meaningful conversation, a favorite dish, or flipping through old photo albums is all you need to feel connected. Whether you’re reminiscing or relaxing, your 4th of July should feel special.
