Fourth of July

See the Rockets Red Glare

Where to catch some dazzling fireworks this weekend

Posted

After the grills have cooled, the potato salad has been consumed and the sunburns have started to set in, there's only one thing left to do to officially wrap up your Fourth of July for 2015: see some fireworks. Here's a breakdown of where and when you can catch some exciting displays of multicolored eruptions in and around Rhode Island this year.  

Please note: we left out any cul-de-sacs, driveways or rooftops that may or may not be putting on unsanctioned fireworks shows. For more info on where people your neighbors will be shooting bottle rockets, just listen for that tell-tale whistle and lots of loud (maybe drunk) laughing.
