For this year's 4th of July, I headed over to Downtown Sanford to see the fireworks. I really like the location on Lake Monroe, and the event has definitely grown quite a bit since I last watched the fireworks in Sanford several years ago. It was a good show, although the fireworks over the river in Deland looked much more impressive and went on for several more minutes after Sanford's show had ended.
The Vue in Downtown Orlando has a rather interesting light show on what appears to be the building's stairs. I imagine this must get old quick if you live in one of the condos with windows next to the lights...
Out of all of the New Years Eve firework shows that I've seen in Florida, nothing beats this one. Disney definitely does fireworks the best...
On July 4, 2008, I watched the firework show that took place over Lake Eola Park in Downtown Orlando. The show was about twenty minutes long, but I was disappointed that the park didn't dim the lights or broadcast the soundtrack to the show over the park's speakers. It was still an okay show, although it seemed like Red, Hot, & Boom from the night before shot off a whole lot more fireworks. The environment of watching the show among skyscrapers was an added plus...
Red, Hot, and Boom is Altamonte Spring's annual 4th of July Fireworks show. The show takes place on July 3 each year, over the lake in Cranes Roost Park.
I wasn't planning on seeing the fireworks here this year. I had a bad experience here a few years ago when it took me four hours to travel about three miles after the show because of all of the traffic, none of which was being directed by the police. I just happened to be riding by this year along I-4 when the fireworks were going on. Since the show's music was broadcast over the radio, it seemed everyone decided that the middle of a highway was a perfect place to watch fireworks and the cars all came to a complete stop.
I have to admit, it was a perfect view of the show...
