My family is coming down for the 4th of july and was wondering where some of the best shows in florida are? Please provide details as for if you gotta pay to see them like parks and what not.

If possible give the firework shows you all know of a star rating of 1-5 (1 being the worst lol)

Also please let me know of any within 100miles of orlando like tampa, daytona, ect.... or in orlando

Any help would be awesome looking forward to giving my nephews and my family a good time

Within 100 miles there are too many to list but my local favorites are:

Red, White and Boom (actually July 3rd) at Crane's Roost Park in Altamonte Springs. Concerts all day than fireworks. 4 for the experience as a whole.

Lake Eola Park, biggest show 4 for the entire experience but 3.5 for the fireworks. The city's reduced budget definitely shows in the fireworks but this year will also mark the re-opening of the refurbished fountain so it should be better.

Sanford Riverwalk on Lake Monroe-also one of the larger events. 4 for the fireworks, some of the best I've seen.

Coco Beach pier, never been but I've heard it's very impressive.

Disney, Sea World and Universal all have special 4th fireworks displays also. All are very impressive, the trade off is the price of admissions.

These two are my picks!! The great thing about RHB is it's on an "off day" Sanford is nice because of how it is situated, great festival "feel".

Lake Eola is nice because it is intimate, but think realtor terms when I say intimate... The only 'cool' thing is getting ash on you for being so close to the display!!

Busch Gardens has good ones, too.

Also, if you like Nascar, the race in Daytona is the 2nd and it is followed by some really great fireworks.

I like Sanford because it has plenty of venders, entertainment and it's spread out.

Crane's Roost is nice as well but it gets very packed in that small area.

As mentioned before, the good thing is that you can go to both because Crane's Roost is July 3 and Sanford is July 4th.
