We went to the blues festival downtown here and watched the fireworks afterwards, then we went home and lit off legal fireworks.
My favorite fireworks show would have to be the one I saw when I was 16 or so. We were in San Francisco, and we were staying in what is now the Radisson down on Fisherman's Wharf, with a fantastic view of the bay. They did the show off of barges in the bay, each stationed at a different point. Before the show started, fog started rolling in through the Golden Gate and partially obscured the westernmost barge. It was an eerie sight to see the fireworks being shot up into the fog, sometimes covered up by wisps of the fog, sometimes shooting into a clear spot. The fireworks shooting off of the westernmost barge were mirrored by a barge in plain sight further to the east, so it very beautiful, clear fireworks on one side and these weird foggy fireworks on the other.
