If you are looking for fireworks around west Michigan during this 4th of July holiday, here is your list!

AAA Tells MLive it could be the highest number in 2 decades, so expect a lot of slowdowns.

Detroit's Ford Fireworks are famous throughout the state of Michigan. But there's another display a bit further north that just might be the biggest and best fireworks show you've never attended.

As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day and our country this coming week, ask yourself are you really celebrating America or are you just in it for the barbecues and fireworks? With 4th of July approaching, WalletHub released a study of '2017's Most Patriotic States in America...

The Fourth of July is a time for celebration and fireworks, but many veterans seek an alternative to the loud fireworks displays this time of year. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency are working together to provide alternative camping options for veterans and others, including pet owners, who are seeking a quieter 4th of July.

In case you didn't make it out to downtown on Saturday, July 4th, we caught the fireworks show for you! A lot of people continue to shoot off their fireworks, but this show was HUGE! Turn up your computer really loud, sit back with a beer, and enjoy all the fireworks exploding over the Grand River from Saturday night's show.

Saturday night downtown was a fun night of celebration for our Independence Day in Grand Rapids! We have lots of bands playing, a bunch of great food and drink, and of course, a HUGE fireworks display off a bridge across the Grand River!

In case you didn't make it to downtown Grand Rapids for our 5th of July fireworks show, and didn't see or hear them, then you must have been in another state, since the show was huge and amazing! Thanks to Amway for the amazing fireworks display, honoring all those men and women around the world who serve, and protect America's security and freedoms!
