Yes, but it's generally professional shows or just a few at midnight. On the fourth it's like half the neighborhood setting them off from dusk to 11ish.

I live in a state where, as far as I can tell, anyone can get any amount of explosives of any lethality. So this holiday runs from late June into early August every year.
Found out today two neighbors had injuries or damage from other people. Teens shot fireworks at one guy, and another had her window shattered we hope from a firework and not a stray bullet. God damn I hate that holiday.
For 2023, CPSC received reports of eight deaths and an estimated 9,700 injuries involving fireworks. Out of the eight deaths, five were associated with firework misuse, two with a device malfunction, and one involves unknown circumstances.
As someone who shoots professionally, these numbers feel low to me. The stupid shit I see every day folks do makes me wonder how they're still legal without a license
