Fireworks are the biggest and brightest of all Independence Day traditions, and each year people gather across the country to see the amazing pyrotechnics that commemorate the birth of our nation.

Fireworks have reportedly been a part of July 4th celebrations since 1777, and today they’re a key part of almost any July 4th celebration.

While shows vary in size and length around the country, some places go above and beyond to light up their skies.
