You want fireworks, you got ’em. Fourth of July pyrotechnics on a barge off Pittsburgh’s Point are scheduled to commence at 9:35 p.m. Preceding the launch there will be music, food, and fun activities. Elsewhere, Kennywood Park is planning fireworks nightly on July 4 and 5 as part of its All-American Summer. These fireworks can be viewed from vantage points nearby or across the river. 4800 Kennywood Blvd., West Mifflin. Many communities throughout the metro area have fireworks and related activities as well. And, though it doesn’t involve skyrockets, you can spend July 4 learning about some of our region’s First Americans. Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village, a National Historic Landmark and a site of very early human habitation, offers a look at those early inhabitants, and early American Fourth of July Celebrations during a special day with tours and activities from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 401 Meadowcroft Rd., Avella.
