Annual Marblehead Harbor Lighting

Annual Marblehead Harbor Lighting

Less than 100 days remain until we can bask in the warmth and gaze at the beauty of the Annual Marblehead Harbor Lighting.

This image was taken within 2 months of our arrival in town. As many of you know, we moved here from Washington, DC in May 2008 when I started work as an Allergist at the Asthma and Allergy Affiliates. I had little knowledge or expectations for the annual fireworks display having been spoiled by the show in Boston and DC in the past few years. I decided to head out on my bike and see if I […]

Marblehead Fireworks – Best Show Around

Marblehead Fireworks – Best Show Around

I couldn’t think of a better image to start off this extended Fourth of July weekend than my first shot of Marblehead’s fireworks. Since I started this site in August 2010, this image taken from the 2009 show has never been shared. Seemed like a great way to set the scene for what promises to be a great week. I’m posting my other fireworks images below for those who may have missed them or just want a taste of what’s to come this Wednesday (in Marblehead).
