Tips for enjoying Fireworks

  • Leave Your Pets at Home – Dogs do not enjoy the loud noises made by the fireworks. Leave them home in the quiet of an air-conditioned room. More dogs are lost on July 4th than any other day of the year.
  • Alcoholic Beverages Smoking and Fireworks are not allowed onto the Catonsville High School property.
  • Come Early/ Stay Late – Plan to come early and enjoy the pre fireworks entertainment. Bring a blanket, some leftover food from your afternoon cookout and enjoy the music.
  • Walk to the Fireworks – You don’t have to worry about parking or traffic hassles plus it is good for the environment.
  • Don’t Cut Across Athletic Fields – Don’t walk across the athletic field after the fireworks as a shortcut to get home. The fields are roped off so that crews can disassemble the displays.
  • Be Patient – When the fireworks are finished, please be patient. Valley Rd has to be inspected for fallen debris before traffic can resume. Traffic patterns also have to be altered to ensure a safe trip for everyone.
