Default Fourth of July fireworks/celebrations
Are there any Fourth of July fireworks or celebrations planned in The Villages? If yes, where are they listed? Any ones near the villages (within 15 miles)?

Thanks!

Fireworks, wasting taxpayer money to scare the bejeebers out of dogs.

Totally agree with you. I am extremely pleased there are not any firework displays in TV.

I am happy NO fireworks to cause veterans issues, in TV.

Is there a place to stand to see neighboring fireworks without actually being at event?

Do you recommend any of the events over others? Is there a place to see the fireworks without being in middle of crowd?
Thanks.

This will be the 1st 4th of July in my lifetime that I will miss the celebrations in my now former hometown of Bristol, R.I. which is known for having the oldest 4th of July celebration in the country. As part of the festivities is a long parade and theme is military, civic, and fire responders. As a now retired VA nurse when I was still working I would volunteer to march along side although most rode in cars and military vehicles the WWII Vets to provide them medical assistance if needed which was a great honor for me as with so few remaining I consider them national treasures. This I will miss but not the fireworks for the same reason you mentioned.

4th of July was huge in my hometown with a parade and events topped by a spectacular fireworks display. Was surprised here to begin with; there was basically nothing. It's gotten better but not nearly the same.
