Pennsylvania is experiencing a major heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees — and those extreme temperatures are expected to continue into the holiday weekend.

If you’re going to be outside this July 4th weekend, stay hydrated, take breaks inside if you can, and check on your more vulnerable neighbors.

Continue to follow PA Emergency Management Agency for updates on heat advisories in your area.

Happy 4th of July from the Children's Museum of Virginia! 🇺🇸

Wishing you a safe and fun-filled Fourth of July with family, friends, and plenty of celebration.

The museum will be closed on Saturday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day. We'll reopen with regular hours on Sunday. Have a wonderful holiday!
