Leave the fireworks to the professionals this weekend
Each year hundreds are injured by fireworks at home, and hundreds of dogs run away after being scared by the impromptu displays and service dogs struggle. Free fireworks displays will take place in Newark and Hockessin on Friday. On Friday and Saturday the Wilmington Blue Rocks will host fireworks displays and on Sunday Middletown and the City of Wilmington will host displays. Please leave the fireworks to the professionals.
