While our dogs Sadie and Oscar don’t love July Fourth fireworks, it seems like almost every else does. If you want to head out for a show, here’s a rundown of fireworks in and around southern Maine. Our listing starts just over the boarder in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and moves north along the coast to Freeport.

If we’ve missed your favorite July 4th fireworks event, please let us know in the comments.
