Eight Rhode Island communities have planned their firework shows for July 3 this year. Here's how thunderstorms are impacting them.

Fireworks lit up the sky in Tradition as the community came together for the Homegrown 4th of July Celebration. Residents from the Treasure Coast showed up in full force to honor Independence Day.

In the weeks leading up to the holiday, Gary Souza and around 60 fellow pyrotechnicans are focused entirely on finalizing the 49th annual Macy’s show. But they are not strolling along the Brooklyn Bridge where it will take place, nor are they balancing aboard one of the four barges in the East River that will supply additional launch points.
