Gaithersburg’s philosophy on fireworks appears to be that they’re better late than never.

The city has planned a “midsummer celebration” that will feature a two-hour concert by Bobby and the Believers, food — or people can bring their own and picnic — and fireworks. The event, called “Finally, Fireworks!,” is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. on July 13, with the concert starting at 7:30 p.m. and the fireworks launching at approximately 9:25 p.m. If it rains, the city will launch fireworks on July 14 instead.
