Rock Harbor Fireworks - July 3rd

The annual July fireworks will be held at dusk at Rock Harbor, in Orleans on Friday, July 3rd. Excellent 'seats' can be had at Rock Harbor (both Orleans and Eastham sides) and Eastham's First Encounter Beach. These are a lot of fun, so plan an evening meal on the beach, followed by the fireworks. Some tips; 1) bring bug spray and 2) bring a flashlight. You won't believe how dark it gets after the fireworks are over. The rain date is Sunday, July 5th.

Note: the annual Wellfleet fireworks are scheduled for Friday, August 28th.
