Where to see fireworks in Denver this 4th of July.

With the extreme fire danger, it only makes sense that seeing fireworks this year isn't going to be as easy as it has been in the past. There is a statewide ban on fireworks with the exception being public displays. And even with that, the majority of large shows we normally attend have been cancelled this year which is certainly understandable.

But if you are still needing to get your fireworks fix, then worry not. I found a list of the statewide firework shows on The Denver Channel, click here, and highlighted the Denver metro area shows for your convenience. The fun starts off tonight with fireworks at the Rockies game and continues through the week. Have fun this 4th of July and please, for everyone's sake, be safe with fireworks.
