Do you enjoy fireworks displays?
What are your favourite types of fireworks?

Yeah, fireworks are cool, we barbecued and watched them. I like all kinds, I'm not picky. And they are legal here, there were firework stands everywhere for a bit.

I like professional displays, or really well-curated (& safely handled) amateur displays.
Can't stand the idiots around here who light off random crap way too close to trees & houses for several days both before & after the holiday, though.
Amateur fireworks aren't legal here, but they are in the next county over, so people smuggle 'em in all the time.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Fireworks before and after the 4th are actually kind of annoying, yeah.

Fireworks got cancelled all around Milwaukee because of the weather (which wound up not being all that bad. I mean, yeah, it was on-and-off rainy, but it wasn't the monsoon-plus-deathnado everyone was predicting). We saw the Washington DC fireworks on teevee instead, and those were great. They always do the 1812 Overture, with the army on hand firing off actual cannons for authenticity.

Fireworks are fun one or two days a year. More than that gets tiresome.

We used to have a fireworks display on Jan 26th, but I believe that is now no longer financially/environmentally(?...not sure) viable. Personal fireworks are illegal here. You need a licence to be able to be in possession of them. We can buy sparklers... LOTS of sparklers. ;)
