We watched the show from our backyard because my mom refused to go to the show because of the hassle of finding parking. Couldn't see many of the smaller ones, but I guess it was good enough. Of course sirens are about because people are idiots and are doing fireworks in the city, which is illegal. Let the professionals handle fireworks.
We blew up fireworks at my house, and I am a certified non-professional. Got burnt a couple times, but wasn't something I couldn't shake off. Some of them fell over on their side as well, which made it even more exciting. Definitely some of the best fun I've had in years. Actively blowing up stuff is more fun than just watching.
We launched some off at our house, and caught a glimpse of a few going off further away. I haven't actually gone to a show in a few years though
