Firework celebrations are back this year for Fourth of July celebrations. In 2020, most city events were canceled and grand firework shows did not go off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But with the decline in coronavirus cases and with many Americans being vaccinated, local cities are back to hosting their grand events and fireworks will be lighting the sky once again.
