Longwood Gardens-Fireworks & Fountains

Day 1

Longwood Gardens' spectacular Fireworks & Fountains Shows return this summer, setting the sky-and our hearts-aglow. Celebrate America with this rousing show of stunning fireworks paired with vivid fountains and plenty of fanfare. From The Star-Spangled Banner to the grand sounds of Americans We and the march In Storm and Sunshine, enjoy this captivating salute to the spirit of our nation.

Get ready for a star-spangled evening of rousing patriotic anthems perfectly suited to celebrate America's birthday. The tradition of fireworks at Longwood goes back to at least 1907, the year after du Pont purchased the property. These extravaganzas combine lavish fireworks, stirring music, and the celebrated colorful illuminated fountains of the 1,050-acre horticultural showplace. The result is an unforgettable display that lights the evening sky with magic and wonder. No need to bring a chair, as the gardens provide seating to enjoy the show. Before the show enjoy free time to appreciate all that Longwood Gardens has to offer. Please note that the Main Fountain Garden fountain area, Idea Garden, Rose Garden, and Topiary Garden will close at 7:30 PM and the Oak and Conifer Knoll, Eye of Water, Chimes Tower, and Hillside Garden will be closed all day to prepare for the show.

There is a self-service cafe and full-service dining room available at The Terrace (a leisurely 10 minute walk from the Visitor Center) where you may purchase food.

Please note: The Fireworks & Fountains show will proceed rain or shine. The decision to delay or cancel the show due to dangerous weather will be made at the time of the show.
