I just got back from Addison's Kaboom Town & all that I can say is that it truly sucked!!! We waited until about 9:45 PM for it to begin & by 10:00 PM, we got the finale.

Since we get a 2nd chance on Monday, are there any good venues in the area that display good fireworks?? I'm thinking maybe in the Carrollton, Coppell, Grapevine (Gaylord Texan?), Las Colinas/Irving, Plano, Lewisville area.

I just got back from Kaboom Town too... I agree that it wasn't a very good show. It seems like it's certainly been better in the past. Traffic getting out of that place was ridiculous!! Luckily we were in a good parking spot on Arapaho just east of the tollway and were able to hop right on the tollway without much fuss. A lot of people weren't quite so lucky.

Garland usually does a pretty good show. I've been to it a few times in the past and enjoyed it. Of course Addison's is usually a lot better so you can never quite know based on the year before... My wife says there's a show in Denton this year at the UNT stadium which is supposed to be pretty good. I think there's supposed to be a decent show up in Frisco too but I haven't been up there for one yet.

we'll be hosting our own, chinese people + lake house + fireworks :evil2 :evil2

thought you weren't chinese

Pakistani?

I bet the show on grapevine lake will be good, mainly because the gaylord is probably dumping a ton of money into it.... I saw the show at southlake town center tonight and it was average...

the gaylord texan was fun except for the show was tiny. you couldnt see the display too well. i went last year but i enjoyed my stay. its a cool place.

Pakistani?

He's Vietnamese.


I didn't get to see any fireworks displays. Allergies are owning me hardcore :(

costco allerclear owns you! and its cheap too!

if you have a boat and go on lake lewisville by skiers cove, you can see 3 firework displays.

i thought kaboom town was good, i had a excellent spot tho, and slipped out right through the traffic

i didnt like the gaylord one that much, it was kinda tiny and didnt last real long.....

the rednecks in bridgeport know how its done yo!!! a 2 hour firework show by 3 neighbors competing for who had the most.... heck yeah

Las Colinas' fireworks show was badass. Especially since my office is about a block away from Williams Square. :D

Michael.

Believe it or not Frisco wasn't bad at all......I just moved to a apartment in north plano and we grabed some lawn chairs and sat in a field across the driveway and watched the whole show. Definitely beats sitting in Addison traffic..... :beer

Possum Kingdom's wasnt bad. It was better last year. Then we shot of some bottle rockets afterwards, nothing spectacular. You cant beat 12 bottle rockets for $.69
