There’s something magical about the Fourth of July in Fredericksburg with fireworks lighting up the Virginia sky. Whether you’re celebrating with family, friends, or just soaking up the summer night solo, there’s no shortage of places around here to catch an unforgettable show.
Here are some of our favorite spots to see fireworks:
1. Pratt Park
Just across the river from downtown Fredericksburg, this park offers plenty of open space, parking, and a great view of the city’s fireworks. Bring a blanket or chairs and come early. The crowd fills in fast!
2. Old Mill Park
Another Fredericksburg classic. Located right along the Rappahannock River, Old Mill offers a more relaxed, riverside view of the city’s fireworks. Great for families and couples wanting a peaceful yet patriotic evening. If you’re not a Fredericksburg City resident, there will be parking fees.
3. Virginia Credit Union Stadium
Catch fireworks at 9 PM right after the Fred Nats game. Nothing says America like baseball, stadium food, and fireworks! Fireworks can be viewed from the stadium and Fredericksburg Convention Center parking lots.
4. Lake Anna State Park
A little outside Fredericksburg, but worth the drive especially if you want to make a full day of it. Swim, relax, and picnic during the day, then enjoy fireworks over the water at night.
5. Spotsylvania Stars and Stripes Spectacular
If you’re looking for a free family event, on June 28th, the annual Stars and Stripes Spectacular will be held at the Spotsylvania Courthouse. The event will consist of musical entertainment, children’s activities, food, craft vendors, and will culminate with a fireworks display.
What if we told you these views didn’t have to be a once-a-year event? If you’ve fallen in love with the Fredericksburg area for its charm, community, and small-town sparkle, we’d love to help you call it home.
