Fire in the Sky

There’s a reason why Americans love the TV show Mythbusters, and it’s not because we’re all gung-ho about scientific experiments (yawn).

This year brings no shortage of fireworks displays on Monday, July 4, including the free Fabulous Phoenix Fourth celebration taking place at 6 p.m. at Steele Indian School Park, 300 East Indian School Road in Phoenix. The family-friendly festival has a retro feel, with classic tunes from Come Back Buddy and Uptown Angels, plus a kids’ play area and an armed forces ceremony complete with an ear-splitting F-16 flyover.
