Dayton 4th of July fireworks 2018
In a matter of weeks, our county will celebrate its 242nd birthday. It’s an incredible accomplishment worth a grand celebration. For many people, the 4th of July is synonymous with barbeques, yard games, picnics and parades. But perhaps the most common thing that might come to mind are fireworks. There is nothing quite like watching the fireworks with the entire city on a beautiful evening in July. We are fortunate to live in the Greater Dayton area because there are so many 4th of July celebrations happening this year. Here’s where to see the fireworks and catch a parade or two in the area.
