The only thing we like more than burgers and dogs on the grill? Burgers and dogs on the grill and fireworks in the same day. There’s really nothing like laying back on a blanket with family and friends on a (hopefully) warm, clear night for a light show in the sky. We know – at this point it’s basically a pipe dream, but still. Here’s our rundown of dates, places, times & tips for fireworks this year to celebrate Independence Day with a few bangs!
