I get a great free fireworks show every year

here is where I live and the football stadium is where they shoot off a huge fireworks display every year.

SO I get a ringside seat.

Happy 4th!

I usually have a fantastic view from my place (I have unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline from my place - and a huge rooftop that we had 200+ people on last year) but this year they are doing the fireworks on the other side of Manhattan - on the Hudson River. Some anniversary of Henry Hudson or something. Why they are celebrating an Englishman on the day America celebrates independence from England is beyond me but what the hell... I'll be at a party on the West Side of Manhattan on a rooftop watching the display with a group of friends, a barbecue and plenty of beer!

Happy 4th of July everyone!!

We have fireworks display at the ballpark. Our band plays from 5pm til dusk. Good times. We've played this gig for 5 years.

I hope this link works,any way we have a pretty good deal like Mark has but we sit on the levee behind my buddies house and watch the fire works shot from the athletic field behind the high school, that is if it stops raining

i was back home in Butte Montana for the fireworks last year (always on the 3rd there), so this is the first Fourth for us here in West Branch.....there's a large field behind our place and on the other side of the field a big overflow parking lot for the hospital. they shoot the fireworks off from there, only 100 maybe 150 yards tops....
