Happy 4th of July Phoenix
If you don’t mind some warm weather and crowds, the fireworks show at the Tempe Town Lake here in sunny Tempe, Arizona is one of the best I have seen. The fireworks show included 1800+ fireworks which lasted about 45 minutes. The fireworks were accompanied by patriotic music. Some of the demonstrations were quite breath taking.
Arrive early to pick your spot on the grass and then meander past the vendors and pick from some great food and cool drinks. A crowd of 50,000 plus people were in the park and there were probably an equal amount across the lake and in the immediate area all awaiting the show. There was a water splash area for kids as well as a fun zone to entertain them while they awaited the fireworks. I considered borrowing a kid so I could splash in the water too! We finally settled in with some friends and enjoyed the various banks on center stage. It is a fun time for all.
The program guuide offered a coupon for yogurt so after the great show we headed to Mill Avenue to enjoy the free treat and wait for some of the traffic to clear. God Bless the USA!
Photos just can't do the show justice
