UPDATE: Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City is no longer hosting fireworks display on July 4.
There’s something about fireworks that take many of us back to when we were little kids.
It was so exciting piling up in the car with the family and going to see fireworks at a nearby park.
The day might start off with a parade earlier in the day. Music, food and other fun would build as the evening wore on.
Then, it was time for the big fireworks show. And boy was it always a show. It had a nice beginning, a pretty good middle and a huge, over-the-top ending.
Here are a list of places to see fireworks, attend Fourth of July parades and other celebrations, and have some holiday fun:
