Wilmington had fireworks yesterday (July 3rd) at 9:30pm as well as a carnival from noon to 11:30pm. Wilmington should be included on your list of nearby celebrations.

Hi Julia,
Thanks for the comment. We did have Wilmington listed in an earlier version of this story (I took out previous days yesterday) but I think they had more than one show because we listed for earlier in the week. We'll try and make sure we have all of the different shows next year. Still, hope this article helps you find some good area shows!
