The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management is promoting an event for people who "love fireworks but can't stand the noise."

It's inviting people, and dogs, to watch Newport's Fourth of July fireworks at Fort Adams State Park from Beavertail State Park in Jamestown.

"All the 'oohh' without the 'ahhh' - watch the fireworks in Newport from Jamestown. The distance lets you enjoy the show without the loud noise. This event is great for individuals with hearing sensitivities," the DEM says in a Facebook post.

The show should start around 9:15 p.m. July 4.

The park usually closes at sunset, but the DEM says it's inviting people to stay later to enjoy the show. It's free. The park has plenty of parking in lots 3 and 4 and registrations is not necessary, the DEM says.
