City of Martinsburg's Fireworks
On July 4, at 9:30 pm, Zambelli Fireworks will be presenting the City of Martinsburg’s fireworks display from a new location on the hill at the end of E. John Street. The public will not be allowed to access E. John Street past the intersection of Oak Street.
While this is the City's first year at this location, some of the sites that folks viewed a smaller December fireworks display from included: PO Faulkner Park; the Caperton Train Station; Adam Stephen House, various areas around Downtown Martinsburg and the Berkeley 2000 Center. We believe this area will allow for more visibility and allows for the display to be set off on City property. There is not a designated or centralized gathering place for viewing the July 4th display as there are various areas where they can be viewed.
