Celebrating Independence Day with fireworks has been a long-standing tradition in Marietta. Firework displays in the borough can be traced to the 1950s, according to organizers of this year’s festivities. Marietta Fireworks became a nonprofit organization a few years ago, and a team of volunteers has ensured the annual tradition continues. This year’s display will begin at approximately 9:15 p.m. on Saturday, July 2, in War Memorial Park, 344 E. Walnut St.
The event will feature the patriotic sounds of the Air National Guard Band of the Northeast, which will perform in concert before the fireworks and during the display. “We are so excited to be able to have live music during the fireworks,” said Gary Schatz, who has been directing the fireworks shows since 2018. “We’re always looking for ways to bring more enjoyment to the community, and this is something we’ve often talked about.”
The band will perform at Community Bible Church, 331 Anderson Ferry Road, Marietta, beginning at 7 p.m. The Air National Guard Band of the Northeast is the premier military band from within the Pennsylvania Air National Guard. The band has played throughout the United States and overseas. The concert will feature a variety of classical music, jazz tunes, popular music, marches, patriotic selections and showtunes arranged for the concert band and small ensembles. In 2010 and again in 2020, 10 members of the band deployed to locations throughout the Middle East, the first deployment of this type for the band. Band members performed more than 20 concerts in 75 days for troops and civilians, to raise spirits and inspire patriotism.
Community Bible Church, which provides a good viewing spot for the fireworks, will also host a variety of familyfriendly activities, entertainment and food trucks beginning at 5 p.m. Sarge the Constable K-9 will perform service demonstrations at 5:30 p.m. and juggler Chris Ivey will entertain at 6 p.m.
All of the activities, including the concert, are free. Donations will be accepted, with all proceeds benefiting Marietta Fireworks.
“The amount of work that goes into each show every year is exhausting and wouldn’t be possible without the countless volunteer hours, donations and encouraging words of support,” Schatz stated, “but hearing the joy of the crowd during the show makes it all worth it and gives our community something to be very proud of.”

Fireworks will be held in Marietta on Saturday, July 2.
Volunteers and trained pyrotechnicians are ready for this year’s fireworks show in Marietta.
The Fulton Forward Foundation, an independent, nonprofit private foundation funded by Fulton Bank, recently announced a $125,000 commitment to the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), a global educational nonprofit focused on bringing the power of entrepreneurship to youths in low-income communities.
The funds, which will be provided to the organization over a four-year period, will be used to support NFTE’s Aspiring Entrepreneurs Program. This initiative provides students from underresourced communities throughout the Mid-Atlantic, which includes the Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Virginia regions, with access to the courses of NFTE’s Entrepreneurship Pathway and several key activities and components of the NFTE student experience. According to NFTE CEO J.D. LaRock, students in the program will learn how to develop an original business plan for companies that can be launched in their own communities.
Fulton’s grant and partnership with NFTE were announced at the MidAtlantic: Philadelphia Metro Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge on June 9 in Philadelphia, where student finalists pitched their businesses to a panel of judges. Fulton Bank president and COO Curtis Myers served as a VIP Finals judge and presenter at the event, which was co-sponsored by Fulton Bank. Also participating were Scott Snyder, a member of the Fulton Financial Corporation board of directors, and Smokey Glover, senior vice-president/retail sales leader at Fulton Bank.
Participants in the presentation included (from left) Smokey Glover, J.D. LaRock, Curtis Myers and Scott Snyder.

Ephrata Cloister Posts Extended Hours
The Historic Ephrata Cloister, 632 W. Main St., Ephrata, will have extended visiting hours on Saturdays, July 2, Aug. 13, and Oct. 8. Members of the public may tour the site between 4 and 7 p.m. on those dates. Situated on 28 acres along the Cocalico Creek in northern Lancaster County, the Historic Ephrata Cloister holds architecture, art, music, and more.
Guided tours at 4, 5, and 6 p.m. each day will explore the lives of the early community residents with visits to the Sisters’ House and Meetinghouse. In Colonial times, it was common to find guests at the Ephrata Cloister during these early evening hours, as the community was known for offering free lodging and meals to visitors.
Tour goers will hear stories of dedication, betrayal, sacrifice, and human nature played out on the edge of the early frontier. Visitors may stop at the museum store to browse locally handcrafted items, books, and mementos of the Ephrata Cloister and the region.
Separate admission fees have been set for adults, for seniors, and for children ages 3 to 11. Ephrata Cloister Associate Members receive free admission. Visitors may bring a picnic dinner and a blanket; picnic tables are also available.
Historic Ephrata Cloister, the place where Ephrata began, is a National Historic Landmark administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission with support from the Ephrata Cloister Associates.
