Rocketts Red Glare - Labor Day Fireworks
**Due to inclimate weather, this event has been cancelled. We will be anouncing a new date shortly. Please stay tuned!

Summer’s going out with a bang at Rocketts Landing. So bring a blanket, a picnic basket and the whole family for an evening of music and fireworks this Labor Day. The Richmond Symphony will be here in concert, and then, once it gets dark, you can ooh and ahh as the fireworks burst over the James River in step with the 1812 Overture. It’s co-sponsored by Richmond.com and The Boathouse, in the city’s coolest new riverfront community.
