The National Park Service will continue the tradition of setting off fireworks from the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall this Independence Day. The show will begin at 9:10 p.m. and expected to last for 17 minutes.

Last year we compiled a list of spots in Georgetown for viewing the fireworks:

• Key Bridge
• Kennedy Center
• Georgetown Waterfront Park
• Holy Rood Cemetery

When you venture out, consider leaving fido at home. Fireworks can be pretty scary for your pets.

Patch compiled a list of what's legal and what's not when it comes to setting off fireworks in Georgetown.
