Independence Day is right around the corner. You know what to do: Grab the lawn chairs and head outside for fireworks.

Okoboji
The popular summer vacation spot hosts a fireworks show over West Lake Okoboji every Saturday through August 31, but they throw in an extra extravaganza on July 4, which lands on a Thursday this year.

Ames:
As part of the community’s star-spangled celebrations, a fireworks display will erupt on July 3 east of Jack Trice Stadium, near the Southeast Recreation Complex. Find stadium parking for the best viewing.

Coralville:
The city’s 4thFest includes fireworks in S.T. Morrison Park on July 4.
