Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this little adventure I had planning for the Red Lion fireworks this year, 2024. It all started when I saw a post online about the annual fireworks show at Fairmount Park. They said it’s gonna be on July 3rd, starting at 9 PM, or maybe a bit later if it isn’t dark enough. Sounded fun, right?
So, I thought, “Why not? Let’s do this!” I started digging around for more info and found out the address: 108 Boundary Ave, Red Lion, PA. Cool, cool. Then I saw something about a bunch of food trucks being there starting at 6 PM. Now we’re talking! Fireworks and food? Count me in!
Then I got this idea to make it a bigger thing, not just watch the fireworks but like, make it a whole experience. I checked out some websites selling fireworks, thinking I could maybe do a little pre-show of my own. You know, get the party started. I found some pretty cool stuff, like these “finale” sets that are supposed to be awesome. But then, I also read about safety glasses and, you know, not burning your eyebrows off.
I also learned that you can order fireworks online and get ’em shipped. That’s kinda neat. There was this one firework called “Dark Instincts” that sounded super intense, with all these blue and red tails and stars. I imagined myself setting it off, feeling like some kind of pyrotechnics wizard.
My “plan”
Here’s what I came up with:
- Go to Fairmount Park early, like around 5:30 PM, to snag a good spot.
- Stuff my face with deliciousness from the food trucks.
- Maybe set off a few of my own fireworks before the main show, just for kicks, but like, safely.
- Enjoy the heck out of the main event at 9 PM.
But then, I stumbled upon some other fireworks events, too. Like, there’s one at Westlake Golf Course on July 4th and another one in Moorpark on July 3rd. And apparently, there’s something going on at Canandaigua Lake, too. So many options! It’s like a fireworks bonanza!
Honestly, I haven’t decided yet if I’ll stick to my original Red Lion plan or maybe hop around to different shows. It all sounds so exciting, though. I just know it’s gonna be a blast, literally! I just want to remind myself to be careful and that the main show will be great enough. Maybe I should give up the idea of setting off fireworks myself. I’ll keep you guys posted on what I end up doing. Stay tuned!
