Have a blast: Your guide to July 4th weekend fireworks shows

From Philadelphia to the suburbs to the Delaware beaches to the Jersey shore, there are many different places to see a fireworks show this July 4th weekend

NBC Universal, Inc.

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.
