(If you’re looking for 2016 displays, see our list here.)
1. Americus, Indiana
With a name like “Americus,” how could you go wrong? This cozy town is home to the Wolfe’s Leisure Time Campground which is always known for having big plans around the 4th of July for their campers.
2. Indianapolis, Indiana
I know what you are thinking – how did I just go from something as awesome sounding as “Americus” to “Indianapolis?” Indianapolis might not have a patriotic name, but that does not stop the city from celebrating the 4th of July in a big way every year.
The Regions Bank Freedom Blast is a firework display that takes place every year in Indianapolis. At 9:45PM on July 4th, the city will start shooting fireworks off of the top of the bank building. This is a firework show you’ll be able to see from a ten mile radius all the way around the building. If you cannot make it downtown, but still live in Marion County, there are plenty of other firework displays in Marion County for you to check out.
3. Liberty, Indiana
This is another one of those town names that just screams patriotic. Why wouldn’t you want to celebrate the 4th of July in Liberty, Indiana? This town is home to both Whitewater Memorial State Park and Brookville Lake which are both known to host 4th of July themed festivals, activities, and firework displays.
