In a record drought year, lighting fireworks at home could pose a significant forest fire risk. The safest way to see fireworks is through a pro-run show (especially since some cities even ban them for the July 4th holidays). Americans have always had a penchant for blowing things up, but fireworks are certainly not the only way to celebrate. This weekend on July 4th, events from all the stars and flicks across the state will take place this weekend. These are just a few of them.
