denied access to downtown from 5 to 10:30 p.m. At 9 p.m., the Spa Creek
Bridge that connects downtown and Eastport will be closed to car

barge. Contact the Harbormaster’s office (410-263-7973) for more

“There’s nothing like celebrating Independence Day in the state
capital, which for a brief time in Colonial days was our nation’s
capital,” Mayor Cohen said. “We can all do our part to make it an
enjoyable experience by following the traffic restrictions, parking at
the stadium and using the shuttles.”

Enjoy the celebrations of our nation’s independence!
