If you plan to see the fireworks display this 4th of July weekend, here is a list of the best locations. Included are dates, times and addresses for your convenience.

As with any other event, it is best to arrive early. Bring blankets and plenty of water for hydration. It might be a good idea to stake out a spot that’s close to the bathroom. Last year, I couldn’t find a bathroom anywhere and I really had to go. I finally just relieved myself behind this brick building at a nearby park. Otherwise, I literally would have wet myself.

If you plan on bringing drinks, please also bring a plastic bag to put your trash in. I always feel so bad when I see the park workers cleaning up everyone else’s mess. How lazy or inconsiderate can you be if you can’t even clean up after yourself? 

Alright, clearly no one cares about what I think. Just go out there and knock yourself out.
