If you haven’t heard, the City of Richmond and partners Venture Richmond, MWV (MeadWestVaCo), and Dominion Power have partnered to present the first ever fireworks display along the James River for the 4th of July. The new event will take place on Browns Island in Downtown Richmond, but the display will certainly be seen from our side of the river. Don’t head out on July 4th though, as this special event is actually happening on Sunday, July 3rd.
