Norristown's 4th Of July Fireworks 2020 Canceled

NORRISTOWN, PA – July 4 events across the country will not look the same this year thanks to the coronavirus. Many cities and towns have been forced to cancel their Fourth of July events, and that now includes the annual celebration in Norristown.

The municipality announced on June 18 that all Fourth of July activities have been canceled for 2020.

The Sunday Summer Concert series has also been postponed until further notice. It may resume once the green phase begins on June 26 in Montgomery County, but a schedule has not yet been released.

Similar events were canceled throughout the nearby area, including major celebrations in neighboring Lower Providence and Conshohocken.

The 2019 Norristown event included a parade, live music at Elmwood Park, a block party on Main Street, various family activities, and more.

Due to the pandemic, counties or cities may adjust or cancel events at the last minute. Check your event before you go. Know of other events in the area? Post them on the Patch calendar or share details on our free Neighbor Post feature.
