The Town’s Fireworks Over the Bay will be held on Friday, July 1, 2016 with a rain date of Sunday, July 3, 2016. NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS. This event date has been changed to accommodate the weekend dates of the Independence Day Holiday in 2016.  Note that the June 23, 2016 issue of the Chesapeake Current has the wrong date listed!

BGE and the Town of Chesapeake Beach present Ryan Forrester Band in Veterans’ Memorial Park from 7 PM to Dusk with fireworks to follow.

Traffic Plan for Twin Beaches on July 1:  The traffic plan is set up to eliminate all left hand turns on a portion of Route 261 going through the Twin Beaches, eliminating the need to stop traffic randomly and enabling traffic to flow with minimal stopping. The centerline of Route 261 will be blocked with delineation devices that will prohibit vehicles from making U-turns. Traffic north of Route 260 along Route 261 on the east side of Route 261 must make right turns and exit left on 5th Street to Boyd’s Turn Road to Route 260. Traffic on the west side of Route 261 must make a right turn and exit on 27th Street to G Street to Route 260. Traffic south of Route 260 along Route 261 on the east side of Route 261 must make a right turn and must turn left onto Route 260. Traffic on the west side of Route 261 must turn right and continue along Route 261 to Summer City Blvd or continue south to Ponds Wood Road and proceed to Maryland Route 4.  This Traffic Plan will be instituted around the time of the start of Fireworks.
