Though fireworks in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor are cancelled for this year, there will still be a celebration of light!

The new Domino Sugars Sign, restored to all its 70-foot-by-120-foot glory, will be turned on for the first time. We hear some reasons Baltimoreans love it so.

Plus a conversation with pyrotechnic expert John Conkling, who describes how fireworks work and why we love them.
