Fireworks Frenzy: 4th of July in Pics

Fireworks are basically the main character of the Fourth of July, right? This year, American skies were absolutely lit—literally—with massive displays coast to coast.

Check out these jaw-dropping photos of the night’s best explosions. Which city had the most epic show? #Culture #FourthOfJuly #Fireworks
