Fireworks (Rock Hill, Fort Mill, York: city hall, house, theater)

[CMPX2]

Where are you going?

Who puts on a good show?

Is the show by the new York HS nice?

First time around here for the 4th..Looking for someplace good for young kids. Where I lived before, we had to camp out for hours to get a nice spot. I can't do that now with 3 young boys.
TIA.

I've never been there, but I hear Lake Wylie has a really nice firework show. You can either watch from the bridge or T-bones - or if you have a boat, you can watch from the water. I might try it for the 1st time this year.

As CarolinaWoman points out, the Knights put on a pretty good show.

I haven't been to the Lake Wylie one, but have seen them from a distance from our house and it looks like it could be pretty good.

The Tega Cay fire works are OK and we have a great view of them from our deck, so we usually have people over and just watch them, supplemented with our own.
