Fireworks displays in Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Potomac 2022


Who needs the hassle of riding Metro downtown, or getting caught up in the Independence Day traffic, when there are many other fireworks shows right here in Montgomery County - most private - that can be viewed from nearby parking lots. Just remember not to trespass on private property. If you are within two blocks of a professional fireworks launch site, consider wearing hearing protection to avoid developing tinnitus or hearing loss, especially for children.

Is Chevy Chase Club having fireworks this year?

Yes, it’s bad enough to have to deal with this on the 4th itself, now my pets have to cower in fear for a week for two hours every day leading up to the 4th??? And don’t forget about veterans with PTSD. I really wish they would make this illegal on all but the 4th itself.

This is a great post, so helpful having them sorted by area. My only issue is that within the different neighborhoods the events should be listed in order of date. Thanks for putting this list together.

This info got reposted a few places, but unfortunately it had some incorrect information, resulting in a lot of disappointed folks. Congressional did not hold its fireworks show last night.

5:01: I apologize for the error. I would assume they will be tonight then, but I would call the club to confirm. However, as of this afternoon, I do not see a permit from the Maryland State Fire Marshal for fireworks tonight at Congressional. They had one for "June 3" which also still had a "TBA" rain date after June 3, so I thought it was a typo for July 3, as they do not have a permit for July 4. Very strange.
