Where Do You Watch 4th of July Fireworks? – Survey of the Day

There is something magical about fireworks. When you think about it, it is kind of crazy, the things that amuse us as humans. But it's true, we love fireworks. Here in Northern Colorado we are blessed to have some wonderful firework shows put on for the 4th of July. There isn't a much prettier background I think of than our Rocky Mountains. Kind of hard to believe that Colorado didn't make Priceline.com’s Top 20 Destinations for July 4th list. Where do you watch the fireworks?

This year may be a little different with our state burning all over the place. But as of now most cities and towns still plan on putting on firework shows with the help of firefighters and trained professionals. The most important thing when talking about fireworks though, is to remind you that it is the worst possible time to even consider setting your own off.

If more fires start and the ones burning continue to grow, there may be more and more professional shows cancelled around the state. Maybe it is time for a getaway for the 4th?
