ST. LOUIS — The Fourth of July holiday weekend is here, so that means family, friends, food and fireworks… of course!
St. Louis was recently named the 10th best place in the U.S. to celebrate America's birthday. Missouri's also one of the most patriotic states.
So, it's no surprise we have a lot of great options to watch some pretty fantastic fireworks displays.
If you’d like to leave the fireworks to the pros, we gathered up some of the biggest fireworks shows in the St. Louis bi-state area.
