Quantico plans fireworks for Memorial Day weekend

There will be fireworks in Quantico again this Memorial Day weekend.

The tiny town on the Potomac River will spend more than $7,000 on a fireworks display for town residents and visitors. The show starts Saturday, May 23, at 9:15 p.m. and the show will be preceded by live music concert starting at 7 p.m.

Attendees will be able to view the concert at fireworks show at Raftelis Potomac River Park at 408 River Road in Quantico. Those who come are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.

The event is free and open to the public. The town is located inside Quantico Marine Corps Base. Event goers and visitors must enter the base at the north gate at Fuller Road, near the National Museum of the Marine Corps, base to get to the town.

A statement posted by the town notes the event will be held to honor men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. armed forces. 

This is the second consecutive year Quantico Town will launch fireworks on Memorial Day weekend. A successful inaugural event was held last year.

DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
