It's that time of year where we celebrate America's birthday with July 4th fireworks displays around the Philadelphia region.
Here are some of the places in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania suburbs, Jersey Shore, Delaware Beaches and beyond where you can catch some fireworks starting this Friday and lasting through Independence Day.
(Note that many of the shows with starting times before dark likely won't happen until after the sun goes down.)
