In my Midwest small town we had "homecoming" every 4th at the city park. Carnival and fireworks at dark. Former residents came back to town for the fun. Lions Club was the sponsor for the celebration.

One year when we stayed in TV for the summer, I must admit that I was surprised that there was not fireworks someplace in The Villages. We drove into Leesburg for their fireworks show and celebration. It was very nice.
