Aside from chowing on burgers and franks, one of my favorite things about the Fourth of July is watching the sky light up with fireworks. It’s always a good time and I love feeling like a kid as I marvel at the displays in the sky dancing in sync to music. If you’re in Vermont and enjoy a fireworks show as much as I do, check out the following list when you wonder, “Where to watch fireworks near me.”
