Gates open at 6:30 p.m. tonight for Darien’s annual fireworks display at Darien High School. Expect the viewer area to be farther from the rockets’ red glare this year, but you’ll still see the bombs bursting in air. The stadium seating available most years is off limits tonight, with a construction project involving underground power lines making that area unavailable. There is an area on the far side of the school for those who want a little less bang (see the fuzzy map below, upper righthand corner). If you want to park your car on the high school campus, you’d better have a parking pass with you.

Birthdays are special days, and America’s birthday is the most special of all! July 4th reminds us we’re not meant to be divided into red and blue states, but united in red, white and blue states. It’s a day to feel happy and proud together – wearing our hearts on our sleeves and our nation’s colors, singing America’s songs, and enjoying hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream! And, it’s a day that ends magically with friends and families enjoying fireworks displays as they light up the skies. This year, with the 4th falling on Wednesday, we have only a brief time to enjoy the traditions and reflect on the meaning of our nation’s birthday.
