Where are the Best Fireworks in Town? (Cleveland, Akron: neighborhoods, live in)

[ecologito]

Hi,

I moved less than a year ago with my wife to North Royalton and we are wondering where are good spots to watch some nice fireworks. WE don't have plans for the 4th yet but we want to see a pretty good show.

Not July 4, but definitely a must see event every year:

The Cleveland Orchestra

I would have to say Cleveland...:
The Cleveland Flats Waterfront Festival will have fireworks at 9:45 p.m. Friday, shot from where the Cuyahoga River meets Lake Erie. Festivities start at 6:30 p.m. with a Sousa band, giveaways and refreshments.

...or Akron ...:
The Akron Symphony Orchestra performs at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Lock 3 in downtown Akron. The concert culminates a four-day "Rib, White & Blue" food festival with musical entertainment. A fireworks display will be at dusk Friday on the Akron Innerbelt.

Here is a complete listing of fireworks in NE Ohio:

Given that you live in NoRo (txt speak for North Royalton), I would say that Akron would kind be far for you. Downtown Cleveland will be crazy crowded - but I think that is the fun part of it.
I didn't see NoRo on the list (unless I missed it) so the next-closest to you would probably be Strongsville or maybe even Parma

Strongsville has great fireworks. I'm always impressed by them. Broadview Hts has a short but nice one. Never go to Brecksville's. They are very cheap with theirs and end up spacing a would be short show into a long one making it very boring. I remember going to Edgewater to see Fireworks, have not done that in a while.

Some neighborhoods have awesome shows that can be viewed from your backyard
