JULY 3, 2013
Brown’s Island in Downtown Richmond
Entertainment begins at approximately 7:30 PM
Fireworks to begin at approximately 9:15 PMIn case of rain, the event will take place on Friday, July 5th.
Will Libbie Hill have a good viewing area also? It seems like it should if Chimbo does but I wasn’t sure if the fact it wasn’t listed was because there was some reason it wouldn’t?
Can someone remind me if Libby Hill or Chimborazo is the better vantage point for Brown’s Island fireworks watching? I thought that Chimborazo was better for Rocket’s fireworks and that Libby Hill was better for Brown’s Island (last two years), but my husband disagrees and thinks that Chimborazo is better for both.
Libby Hill has the best view of these fireworks by far, everything’s right in front of you.
will be a blast from where i will see them
Anybody know if this is still on or where we look for updates?
