It's that time of year when we've got fireworks on the mind. Sure, we could opt to purchase our own and have a block party with the neighbors, or we could brave the crowds, pack up the picnic blanket and lawn chairs and make an evening of it at the many parks that will offer fireworks displays in the coming weeks. Here are details on some of those shows, all taking place in the weeks ahead of and on Independence Day.
