Fireworks Sales Light Up This Weekend

For four days beginning July 1 and ending midnight Independence Day, Watsonville residents can purchase and light up "safe and sane" fireworks within the city limits, making the city the only Santa Cruz County municipality to allow such explosive activity.

Twenty-five sale booths, located throughout the city, have permits to sell the sparklers. Each is a non-profit and part of the proceeds from what they are able to sell go towards the organizations. 

Some of these booths may be open as early as 9 a.m. and close as late as 10 p.m.

Patch wants to know where you like to purchase your patriotic pyrotechnics. Tell us in the comments where you plan to get your fireworks and where and when you're going to set them off.

Upload any photos you've got from previous Fourth of July celebrations to this article. If you have any trouble uploading them, you can email jennifer.squires@patch.com with the pics.
