You Asked: Where can I see fireworks on the 4th of July?

Our Answer: This year you can see brilliant displays across the skies in Southwest Mississippi all weekend long. While a few Independence Day explosive celebrations can be enjoyed on July 4, others will crash and boom on Saturday and Sunday as well. One thing to remember though, if you live in the city limits, you can’t fire them yourself.

“No fireworks are permitted in the city unless it’s for special events, such as the Civic Center or Heritage Church. There will be no permits issued for individuals, and setting off fireworks within the city limits is prohibited,” said Brookhaven Fire Chief Jeff Ainsworth.
