Once again fireworks will light up the night sky during the Westchester County Music Fest and Fireworks at the Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla on

“I’m thrilled to welcome back thousands of people from Westchester and beyond to celebrate our nation’s independence with live music and one of the area’s most stunning fireworks displays at Kensico Dam Plaza once again,” said County Executive George Latimer. Pre-concert entertainment begins at 5 p.m.
with a guest DJ followed by the FDR Drive Band at 7 p.m. Spectacular fireworks, with the historic Kensico Dam as the backdrop, will follow at about 9:15 p.m.

‘Central Park,’” said Parks Commissioner Kathleen O’Connor.
