Since we are closing in on the end of another year, I was wondering about fireworks shows and different cities; I had just watched Hong Kong's 2009 display.

I've never seen a major city's firework's display; so I really have no idea but to simply use city size as a gauge. I'm sure that the correlation of size does not necessarily apply to fireworks.

Here are some clips of New York City's:
YouTube - 4th of July 2009 fireworks display in New York City

Here is Chicago:

YouTube - 2008 new years eve - 2009 new years day chicago fireworks display

Here is Philadelphia:

YouTube - New year Firework display 2008_2- PHL

And Hong Kong; which got me curious:

YouTube - Hong Kong Firework Countdown To 2009 香港 2009 煙èŠÂ±Ã¥€’æ•Â¸Ã¨Â¿ŽÃ¥…ƒÃ¦—¦

Has anyone seen enough displays to say the best U.S. city.....off-hand I'd say New York........ If possible; post your city's display.

Well I heard that Houston has the largest fireworks display in the nation.

They say bigger isn't always better, but I would imagine that bigger is better when it comes to fireworks.
