“We received tremendous responses from people near the mouth of the harbor,” said Falk. “People called it ephemeral, whispy, serene, beautiful, etc., and we saw many amazing photos of the fireworks shining through the fog in a magical display of beauty and amplified colors.”

Before the fireworks, Maureen Dart Szymczak, a 38-year Marblehead resident, expressed her anticipation.

“I love every holiday — Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas — but I have to say, the Fourth of July and the Marblehead Festival of the Arts are my favorite. The array of activities is just fabulous,” she said, standing at the public dock next to the Landing Restaurant.

Earlier in the day, the Marblehead Festival of Arts engaged families with art exhibits, Street Festival, Literary Festival, concerts and model boat events. The Glover’s Marblehead Regiment added a historical touch to the day, with musket firings and a reading of the Declaration of Independence.

The Horribles Parade, another town tradition, was postponed to July 9 due to the weather forecast.

The Marblehead Fourth of July fireworks display and harbor illumination relies on private donations from individuals, local groups, and businesses to make this event spectacular.
