Mt. Lebanon’s Centennial fireworks extravaganza, provided by Pyrotecnico, will take place Uptown on Washington Road this year. Construction at the high school makes it impossible to shoot the fireworks from the traditional site, so the display will originate at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery beginning at 9:30 p.m. Washington Road will be closed between Bower Hill Road and Lebanon Avenue from 7 to 11 pm, so people may sit in the street (bring chairs) for the fireworks and the concert that precedes the display, which Recreation Director David Donnellan says will be “bigger and better than usual” in celebration of Mt. Lebanon’s 100th anniversary. The popular band Airborne, featuring Jeff Jimerson, will take the stage at Alfred Street and Washington Road at 7:30. There will be a few food vendors along the road. Both the south and north parking garages will be open, and parking Uptown is free that night.
