Boating, Music, Fireworks–July 2026

What do boating, music and fireworks have in common in July of 2026? Can they all be combined in one event? Have you ever watched the Capitol 4th where the music is cued up to the fireworks? Maybe if you have lived in a city or town with water, you could even view the fireworks and listen to the music from your boat. What do all three have in common? They are all better when viewed outdoors with other people. Humans need to be around other humans and experience life IRL and not on screens.

That one song O.A.R. plays every night, this time on a Thursday in the North Shore.

East Brady Riverfest 2026 Fireworks, even if they started 22 minutes early.
Warehouse to end the set on Friday in Burgettstown. Nice to have Jake with the whole band.

What better way to end the month of July than with some boating, a few concerts, crazy sunsets and fireworks. Riverfest or Dave Matthews Band? As much as I dislike going to Burgettstown for a concert, especially a sold out concert, I’m grateful for being dragged out. It’s not every night that the set opens with some rare tracks. The early #41 was also a delight. You know when Warehouse ends the set on Friday Night, the encore is going to have somemthing special. More Jake Simpson and d in Burgettstown complete with some fiddle by Jake.
