Now that the heat dome is finally beginning to crack, you can enjoy summer outdoors again in Baltimore County.
Well, at least you can walk around with minimal melting.
For Fourth of July fans, dazzling displays of fireworks will take over the night sky across the county beginning Wednesday.
We’ve compiled a list of offerings to fill your holiday weekend and all the days in between.
