July 4th In Maryland: Where To Watch Fireworks

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- With July 4th around the corner it's hard to imagine celebrating Independence Day without fireworks, especially in Baltimore -- the home of the Star-Spangled Banner.

With coronavirus still impacting Maryland and social distancing requirements and orders against large gatherings, there won't be many options for live fireworks.

But, that doesn't mean there won't be other events to enjoy the day.

Maryland's Office of Tourism has a full list of events.

We've made a list below and will continue to update the list as we learn more. Email cbsbaltimore@wjz.com if we're missing something.
