Firework Shows in Los Angeles County

4th of July Firework Show Updated For 2013 for Los Angeles County

I love fireworks in Orange County. 4th of July is my favorite holiday. That’s me last year below. Well, my 2nd favorite holiday after Christmas. The 4th of July means so many things, picnics, BBQ with friends and family, parades, small town celebrations and fireworks in Orange County. It means that summer is full on. But the thing that gets me most excited, is the fireworks in Orange County!!! I love everything about them. The flying up in the air, the fountains, the colors and sounds. And how everyone gets excited to see them. What I do to soak up as much 4th of July as possible is to see a professional fireworks show in Orange County the days leading up to the 4th. Then the day of the 4th, enjoy purchasing some fireworks at a firework stand and lighting them with my family that night. Of course, fireworks are not legal in most cities but luckily, I have family and friends in cities where they are legal.

(Recommendation: if you gonna light fireworks, bring out a ladder and light them on top of the ladder. You’ll get a better effect. Also, stick with the legal safe and sane fireworks. Illegal fireworks carry up to $1000 fine to the person or homeowner that is caught lighting illegal fireworks.) But if your not such a big fireworks freak like me, a professional fireworks show in Orange County will be plenty. Below is a list of fireworks shows in Orange County. Some are paid and some are free. There’s also a couple that are on before the 4th. I also put a list of fireworks shows in Los Angeles County for those of you that travel.

If you are like me and like lighting fireworks in addition to watching the big ones blow up in the sky, you may want this fireworks coupon. It’s $10 off a fireworks purchase at any TNT firework stand.
