Independence Day is just a week away, but not all fireworks take place on the Fourth of July and the time and date vary from city to city.

Fireworks shows in the area will all begin once the sun goes down. If a show is scheduled to start at dusk, it will likely take place between 8:15 p.m. and 9:40 p.m.
