2026 and the U.S. 250th: Why This Fourth Is Different
July 4, 2026 marks the United States Semiquincentennial, 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. For Maryland, that history is immediate. Fort McHenry, the Battle of Bladensburg, and Baltimore’s role in the War of 1812 put this state at the center of early American history.
Heading to the fireworks at Loch Raven or out to Oregon Ridge for the BSO? FLWR Dispensary is right in Towson at 101 E Chesapeake Ave #102. Browse our full menu and stop in before July 4th.
