Fireworks as visual art.

I live in the Seattle area, and as such we have some of the best fireworks displays in the United States. It's one of the ones that are broadcast across America's TV networks, it's wonderful.

So where do you go to enjoy a nice fireworks display? Are you one that loves to blast your own? Or do you make a trip to a favorite site?

Does your city/county even let you set off fireworks? Do you think it's just a waste of cash? Will you make an all day thing of it.

When I was young, 12 years old I was lucky enough to see the United States Bicentennial fireworks display in Sacramento Ca. California's capitol put on a display that went on for what seemed like hours but was more likely just an hour, it was the greatest show that I can remember, it lasted all day, hot dogs, soda and events like greased pig catching contest's and water fights everywhere I, and most people were going crazy it took forever for full dark, but it was worth the wait.

So do you have any great memories of a 4th of July?

Montreal is holding its annual international fireworks competition right now. I've been and have always meant to go back. Montreal is beautiful, as are the fireworks.

My other favorite fireworks shows:

Washington, D.C. (July Fourth on the Mall)
Hong Kong (amazing shows at New Year's)
Over the Vegas Strip

In Seattle, the fireworks I liked best were on July Fourth at the Chateau Ste. Michelle winery during its outdoor summer concert series. You can sprawl on the lawn, wine in hand, music in the air. Ahhhhh.

Never been there, but it sounds like a perfect night. Alcohol and fireworks always a great combo.
