It’s that time of year again. In less than two weeks, we’ll be celebrating the 4th of July. Most 4th of July festivities will continue throughout the day, or even last the entire weekend. However, we can all agree that the best part of any 4th of July celebration is the spectacular fireworks display at the very end. Listed below are 45 fireworks displays, including five of our favorites, that will be taking place this coming 4th of July. And this year’s displays will blow last year’s out of the water!
