The Fourth of July is almost here, and warm weather is here along with everything else that it brings with it. Whether you enjoy barbecues, time spent with family and friends, or just relaxing after a long week at work, almost everyone can find common ground in one enduring tradition: fireworks. Here are some great places to see fireworks if you’ll be in the Buffalo area this Independence Day.
Cheektowaga Town Park: On Saturday, Cheektowaga Town Park is holding both a parade on noon and a fireworks display at dusk. Before the fireworks begin, there will be music by the Bedrock Boys and Boys of Summer. There will also be refreshments in the Pavilion while the events take place.
Clarence Day in the Park with Fireworks: Clarence Town Park is hosting a Fourth of July party on Saturday from 2-9pm, with a fireworks display at 9:45pm.
