With the upcoming 4th of July holiday just around the corner, we want to be sure you have your day of fun and night of Fireworks planned out! Sure, there's the option of staying home and watching Macy's 4th of July Fireworks on TV. This year's 37th annual spectacle, entitled "It Begins With a Spark," likely won't disappoint.
