DALLAS — Fourth of July is just around the corner, and that means the next few days will be colorful, loud and full of fireworks.

If you want to celebrate Independence Day and see a fireworks show in North Texas, we have a list of the perfect places to go to.

The state of Texas only allows 1.4G fireworks for consumers. That means only the small devices that are usually sold in local stores like wedding sparklers, smoke devices, snappers, roman candles, parachutes, firecrackers, and every other firework that meets the requirements of CPSC and DOT Consumer Fireworks definitions.

You can use fireworks any day of the year as long as they are not banned in the area you live.
