The lack of fireworks has disappointed many for years. But, there are reasonable rationales for their absence, the most important of which is safety. When the "obvious" locale to set off a display is Lake Sumter itself, it doesn't take a wizard to realize the fire hazard should something go awry.
Of course, there's also the cost. In the last couple of years, many local municipalities have given up their public +/- $100,000 displays!
Still, there remain many small, often private, shows. Find high ground (the circle at Morse and Bonita Blvds comes to mind) and scan the horizon. You won't hear any booms, but you might see lots of pretty lights.
