Since I live in this great little town (resident going on 30yrs now) ...damn it seems so ideal I hesitate to talk about it in fear of it becoming too popular... my kids and I go to the annual fireworks display at the playground. Compared to other fireworks in the Philly area, it is actually quite good. I go down in the afternoon of the 4th and plop my blanket front row center and when we head down there later we have a good view ...that's the way all the locals do it, not just me. I'll be taking my 84yo mom with us again. They give out a prize for the person there who came from the farthest place ...last year it was New Zealand. Of course we'll be bbq'ing during the day.
I didn't see this posted here but sorry if it's a repost. This youtube item is about the most awesome fireworks display I've ever seen or heard of, done by the famous Grucci family from Long Island. It's almost 10 min. long, so as you watch it keep in mind that the finale is coming:
