I've gone ahead and stickied a new "Happenings" thread for July -- hopefully there will be some fireworks listings added!

Children’s inflatable games are available from 5-8pm. Local nonprofit groups will sell food and other refreshments. The evening concludes with a spectacular fireworks show at 9:30pm. This celebration is FREE to the public. Shuttles will provide transportation to and from the park to ease traffic. Contact our department or visit our web site at Town of Garner - Homepage for shuttle parking sites and departure times. -No Alcoholic Beverages -No Glass Containers -No Gas or Charcoal Grills -No Fireworks (including sparklers) -No Pets

Any suggestions where I can catch the fireworks in Raleigh area? I am in Cary-Apex border, and have some friends visiting for the weekend.
Thanks

I saw them at the fairgrounds last year and they were good. There's some festival-ish type thing going on beforehand that I didn't partake in, but I came like 2 hours before dusk with a friend, food, and a blanket. We sat and chatted til the sun went down and the fireworks started.

I went to the fireworks at Koka Booth Ampitheatre off Tryon Road in Cary last year and had a great time. Nice fireworks display and they have a free concert by the NC Symphony as well! I've been to the fairgrounds in Raleigh other years. I think the fireworks themselves may be slightly better in Raleigh, but only slightly. The symphony set Cary's show over the top for me, though.
