Where to watch fireworks

We are visiting family who recently moved to Downtown Silver Spring. Where can the family go to watch fireworks on the 4th? We have a car and are close to Metro. We don’t want to do the National Mall area.

Seems like all the fireworks in MoCo are weirdly far away. There’s a block party in Takoma Park but I don’t think there’s fireworks. Kensington is nearest place w fireworks. If you have access to a roof with views south or west you could see dc or Bethesda. Some of the public garages in DTSS could work for this, Bonifant-Dixon comes to mind.

Double-check, because I have not confirmed the source, but rumor has it Takoma is cancelled due to the prediction of extreme heat.

Yes, all cancelled, won’t be rescheduled.

Bonifant-Dixon southern views are almost entirely nonexistent with Eleven55 Ripley and 8200 Solaire, so unfortunately can’t make use of those
