The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in the Delaware River near Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia. This restriction applies to all waters within a 500-foot radius of the fireworks barge position on June 27, 2026.

Why it matters: This rule exists to protect people and boats from the immediate hazards associated with fireworks launches, including falling debris and sudden explosions. While the restriction is brief and geographically limited, it prevents unauthorized vessels from entering a high-risk area during the display window.
