To find one of the splashiest fireworks displays in Northern Virginia, look no further than Celebrate America right here in Manassas. This massive 4th of July Festival launches with a day-long bash in Historic Downtown Manassas and culminates with a stunning fireworks show.
Come to the train depot, Harris Pavilion, or Manassas Museum at 3 p.m. to begin having some holiday fun. This is when the kiddie rides open up for families. Then at 4 p.m., food vendors and crafters welcome guests to their booths. Explore and enjoy until 9:15 p.m., when you should take up your post on the museum lawn (preferably with a blanket or lawn chairs) for the fireworks show. Admission to the lawn is free, but if you're interested in getting a closer look at the fireworks, buy a ticket to the bash atop the downtown parking garage roof. It includes food, drink, and front-row seats to the action.
