Fourth of July, one of the biggest summer and American celebrations, is only a couple of weeks away. The day calls for patriotic sentiment, barbecue, cold beverages, and, of course, fireworks.

Luckily, there are plenty of firework shows spread throughout the state this year in order to properly celebrate our Independence Day.
