Mount Dora had fireworks on NYE at midnight. On the 4th of July usually Leesburg and Wildwood has fireworks. I can hear them and if I go outside I can see the Wildwood fireworks on the 4th, I'm near Sterling Hgts Rec Center on St. Charles. Those who live in Collier probably have a front row view. NYE I didn't hear and see any, so must be just on the 4th. From online newspaper Villages News here's last 4th of July schedule.
