Fourth of July Celebrations

Takoma Park is hosting its annual Fourth of July celebrations which include both a parade and fireworks. The parade goes down Maple Ave. and the fireworks take place at Takoma Park Middle School. Sen. Jamie Raskin sent out an email reminding friends and supporters of these events and his district headlined by the epigram " “A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” A very American sentiment though I wonder if Jamie realizes that he is now part of the government!

The Town of Chevy Chase will be hosting its annual picnic for town residents at Rosemary Elementary. The celebration starts off with the traditional kids parade at noon. Kensington is also hosting a children's bike parade at 9:45am.
