Ready for Fourth of July fireworks? Here’s where you can see them in the metro-east

Independence Day is just a week away, but not all firework shows happen on July 4, and the time and date varies from town to town.

Fireworks shows in the area will all begin once the sun sets. If a show is set to begin at dusk, then it’s likely to be between 8:15 p.m. and 9:40 p.m.

Some towns have multi-day, noon-to-night festivals which include music, food and games. Others simply have firework shows.
