Fireworks and fun for the family

You don’t have to go far for a good old-fashioned Independence Day celebration. The City of Bowie celebrates America on Friday, July 4, 2008 with music and fireworks. Come to Allen Pond Park in the afternoon to enjoy all the park has to offer families, and stay to sample the food, beverage and novelty concessions that will be available from 3:00 p.m. on.

Then listen to the M&R Band beginning at 4:30, have your picnic dinner, more music, and top it off with spectacular fireworks at 9:15 p.m.

Here are the details, and for more information you can go to http://www.cityofbowie.org/special_events/4thofJuly.pdf to see the full flyer for the event.
