4th of July Celebration
Speculator, NY
If you are in the Saratoga Springs region up to Warrensburgh this is one of the best shows you will see anywhere. The fact that these are being fired off Mount Speculator is majestic. As a kid, I could see this display 20 miles away.

Small town charm, lots of patriotism and the Adirondack Mountains in the backdrop, you can’t go wrong here. Plus you can avoid the major crowds if you don't fancy them.
