Boston Fireworks: Tonight's the Night to Light Up Your Feeds (But Not Literally...Maybe)
Ah, Boston. City of baked beans, history so rich it practically begs for a side of brown bread, and of course, fireworks so spectacular they'd make Sam Adams himself shed a tear (of freedom, obviously).
But hold on a sec there, champ. It's July 15th, a date that falls outside the realm of America's birthday. Those epic fireworks displays you're dreaming of are currently on summer vacation, just like your childhood**. Don't worry, they'll be back with a bang next year!**
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
In the meantime, why not celebrate with some firecracker fun facts? Did you know:
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
- The first recorded fireworks celebration was in...wait for it...China...in the 7th century AD. Guess they were way ahead of the curve.
- Fireworks were originally used to scare away evil spirits. Not sure how a dazzling light show would accomplish that, but hey, desperate times...
- The biggest firework ever created was a whopping 2,300 pounds. That's more than a baby elephant! (Although hopefully less messy.)
