In Michigan, we know a few things about fireworks. We are still getting used to not having to smuggle them over the Ohio border like we're running moonshine. Gone are the days of us having to go to the guy under a circus tent in a parking lot and ask him "Pssst. Where do you keep the good stuff"?

What is the 'good stuff' when it comes to fireworks? Anything that whistles, bangs, booms, sizzles, shoots, or kabooms. The Mitten State loves a fireworks show and there is no shortage of them in 2023. We've compiled as complete a list as possible so that you know where and when to go to claim your fireworks spot.

Finding the right fireworks viewing location is an art in the state of Michigan. It's like picking the right seat at the movie theater. You don't want to be too close or your neck will hurt, too far away and you can't see anything. The good news is that for most shows there isn't a bad seat in the house, or blanket on the grass, or a foldable chair on a lawn. Fireworks can be seen for miles! So even if you're in the 'front row' of the fireworks theater, rest assured that your blanket seat reclines in the event of your neck getting tired.

Some Michiganders prefer to watch their fireworks from afar, while others like to be right in the think of it, say on a pontoon boat in the middle of the lake that they are blasting them over. Pure Michigan.
