Chestertown usually has fireworks the day before Rock Hall but I can't seem to find information online.
We keep our boat in Rock Hall and last year every available slip in our marina was filled. They probably had more boats they could have rented slips to since we were asked if we were going to use ours. If you want a slip in Rock Hall for the fireworks: reserve early!

I have never been to the Rock Hall fireworks. Where are they held? What's a good place to see them from? Any marina recommendations that are good for seeing the fireworks?
Thanks,
Alan

The fireworks are in Rockhall harbor. We always anchor out in Swan Creek because it is one of the most beautiful anchorages on the bay. It is protected and very peaceful.

The fireworks are set off from a barge or boat near the harbor. If you're interested in a marina, the prime spot would be any inside the harbor. We're in Gratitude and while we can't hear the music, we can see the fireworks from our boat with no problem. Last year we stood on the bulkhead which is slightly closer but my mother stayed in the cockpit and said that she could see just fine.
Many boats anchored behind GC1 near Deadman Point. They started arriving the day before. The post-fireworks show was watching the majority of them try to leave at the same time at the end of the night.
Haven Harbour has taken over trolley duties (limited to Rock Hall) so if you anchor or get a slip in Swan Creek you might be able to take the trolley over to the harbor or just walk over to the bulkhead at Gratitude.
We preferred the bulkhead as we could also see the other fireworks in the distance on the mainland.

The entrance to the harbor has shoaled to a controlling depth of 4.5 feet, mean lower low water.

I don't know if it will be fixed by July. I doubt it. Probably no problem at high tide but it means you have to plan carefully.

My neighbor, a powerboater went through it the other day and said he was at 3 feet.

Just an FYI for anyone who wants a slip in the harbor:
The entrance to the harbor has shoaled to a controlling depth of 4.5 feet, mean lower low water.

Joe,
Will you be through the narrows before Saturday? I need to go through on Saturday with a 5’ draft on the way to the Wye.
Thanks,

Probably not – you might be the first.
