The 4th of July is all about the hunt for the best fireworks. If you happen to be on the road, MapQuest just announced a new feature on their site just in time for the holiday weekend that locates and provides details about local fireworks displays along with other holiday weekend events!
To view firework information, enter a location on the map and look for an icon that looks like fireworks on the carousel located on the right-hand side. Click on it to find events are marked along your route or the map in general.
Whether you are staying at home or traveling this holiday weekend, know that you can find nearby fireworks with a click of a button. Thanks for the tip, MapQuest!
By the way…Congratulations to Emily from MamaSick who won the $25 gift certificate to Zazzle. The SuperWhy prize package will be sent to Michelle from Grown in My Heart. Thanks to everyone who entered and Tweeted the contests!

Awesome! This is just what I need. We’re driving down to the beach on the 4th but the town we’re staying in has their fireworks on the 3rd so we need to find a close-by alternate location. Thanks!!

Neat feature, I just tried it, but the small, small town we’re going to in Northeastern PA doesn’t have anything listed. I’m pretty sure they have fireworks, but there is question as to if they are Fri or Sat. Guess we’ll have to talk to the locals 🙂
