Fireworks will light up the skies over Dumfries this weekend.
The town announced a fireworks show to begin Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, at 8:30 p.m.
The fireworks will be shot from Garrison Park, behind the town hall, at 17739 Main Street. According to Mayor Derrick Wood, the show will be seen from nearly anywhere in the 1,500 square-foot town.
The fireworks show was originally scheduled for July 9, 2022, but was postponed due to inclement weather. Colonial Downs, the group building The Rose, a 300-room hotel and gaming resort on top of the Potomac Landfill, will pay for the show, Mayor Derrick Wood said earlier this summer.
The fireworks will be loud, and town leaders urge residents to keep pets inside their homes, keep them occupied during the show, and keep them on leashes to prevent them from running away.
The Dumfries Town Council approved The Rose in September 2021. Planners said the center should be opened by 2023 and will have nearly 2,000 video slot machines, restaurants, a theater, and a 2,500-space parking garage. About 80 acres of primarily unbuildable land surrounding the hotel and gaming resort would create a park.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
