Every year, communities across the country celebrate Independence Day with displays of fireworks on the 4th of July.

Those displays can be especially breathtaking when they’re reflected off the water here in the Tampa Bay area, and Madeira Beach and Treasure Island have fireworks displays worthy of every “oooh” and “aaaah.”

Where’s the best place to view fireworks on the 4th of July? Glad you asked!
