Why were there fireworks last night near me - Last night, there were fireworks near you because of a legal display that had been permitted by the Fire Department. The dazzling fireworks show at Navy Pier is a popular event that takes place every Wednesday and Saturday during the summer. If you missed it, you can check out a video of a spectacular fireworks show put on by someone's brother. In Michigan, there are several upcoming fireworks displays listed for the next year. Remember, these displays are weather-dependent and may be canceled in poor conditions. So, next time you see fireworks lighting up the sky, sit back and enjoy the show!
