Point of order: the "rocket's red glare" and "bombs bursting in air" date to the War of 1812, not the Revolution.
California has county-level bans on general use of fireworks, and of course none allow anything but the "safe and sane" ones ('cause fire risk).
Canada - Vancouver specifically - runs the Celebration of Light, a multi-evening festival of fireworks displays. Past events saw a display from a different country for each of the nights, this year appears to be different provinces.
Also: got both the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" and "Andy Rooney ranting about the different types of milk" vibes.
I’m good with fire risk restrictions. Also aware Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner during the War of 1812 (against royalist colonial Canadians!). Doesn’t change the basic point.
