If you're a kid it means friends, family, swimming pools and constant activity. If you're an adult it's all about booze, grilled meat and explosives, what more could a person ask for?
The only struggle these days is trying to find out when and where the public fireworks displays happen throughout the summer. When I was a kid, they all took place ON the 4th of July but now cities and towns place them on different dates that span the entire summer. Here is your guide to Connecticut Fireworks for 2024.
