“So unfortunately, the Safety Commission tells us there’s about 10,000 annual injuries, firework related. And of course, 4th of July is a big one. New year’s Eve is another big one. And typically for fireworks the big injuries are hands, fingers and eyes,” said Muntan. How does that generally happen?

Mequon-Thiensville, a suburb of Milwaukee held its Family Fun Before the Fourth 4th of July fireworks show a week early to celebrate the 2025 holiday.

Central Virginians have a variety of chances to see July 4 fireworks shows this year to celebrate Independence Day.
