With the Fourth of July around the corner there will be plenty of fireworks going off. If you are planning to have a fireworks show of your own, it’s important to know what’s legal and how to stay safe. NBC10’s Leah Uko has what’s allowed and what isn’t in Pa., Del. and NJ.
It's that time of year again! In celebration of July 4th, there are fireworks displays around the Philadelphia region during the summer of 2024.
Here are some of the places in Philadelphia, the suburbs, Jersey Shore, Delaware Beaches and beyond where you can catch some fireworks starting July 3rd and lasting into the Independence Day weekend.
(Note that many of the shows with starting times before dark likely won't happen until after the sun goes down. Also weather could impact if the show goes on at the scheduled time.)
