Fireworks for Memorial Day?

There is a city nearby where my daughter lives that has Taste of (city name) from Thursday to Monday with Fireworks on Sunday night. They don't do anything for Fourth of July because most everyone around Green Bay is here.

I don't know of any fireworks displays around here this weekend, and I agree they may not be appropriate for Memorial Day Weekend. I do think it is appropriate to celebrate on Memorial Day. I explained why in my discussion here:

Some people seem only to love making noise, we do not celebrate Memorial Day here in Switzerland, but I think that fireworks are not appropriate for this celebration.

No fireworks ever on Memorial Day weekend or Labor Day! For shame!

Fireworks here are sometime in june for the "offical start of the summer", july 4th, and a few days around it for other towns. Plus in October for the seaside festival we have for the fall. I wouldnt like them this weekend. Too early and just wrong.

We don't usually have any fireworks on Memorial Day. New Year's Eve and the Forth of July are another story.

It seems like fireworks have become very common everywhere. I can always hear the noise of fireworks here, no matter what occasion it is. If it's big festival, the fireworks can start lighting from 10pm to 2am or 3am. That's really difficult for us to sleep, especially when there are young kids and babies. Personally, I am fine if the fireworks are just for awhile, but not for long period and not too late at night, as it's really disturbing.

Our Memorial Day is in November only. Here we have lots of fireworks in December. The most annoying thing is that people light fireworks till late at night sometimes. They disturb others sleep but they don't seem to bother.

No fireworks, it would be nice if there were. Only July here. Even so, they want to ban fireworks in general.

Yes they did a couple days ago and Pat, it was louder then the 4th of July and much longer. Not sure where it was but close enough to blow our roof off here with the noise. Needless to say I was a bit perturbed.

I live in Canada and our long weekend was last week Victoria Day. And yes, we had the usual people who start their fireworkds on Friday night. A real pain!

Here by me there are mostly fireworks on New Year's, but I don't like them unless they are in a contained area away from residential areas because I worry about dogs and cats panicking @PatZAnthony . I hope all was okay by you.

Not that I know of. Memorial Day isn't for that kind of celebrating.

In our area, people don't shoot fireworks on Memorial Day. They do on Independence Day and New Year's though.

surprisingly they did not. when my poor fur baby Coco was here it seemed like they did for every holiday of any kind. now they are gone wouldn't you know. hope i am not speaking too soon.

People around here did not even set off fireworks for fourth of July.

I cannot imagine that fireworks would be an appropriate thing to let off on your Memorial day long weekend. Last weekend, we celebrated Victoria Day, and since its in honour of the queen's birthday, fireworks are appropriate. My favorite are when they let them off on July 1st for Canada Day. I hope that nobody is offended by the fireworks tonight.

People use fireworks here all year round!! I posted this in answer to you comment on my post but this was/is a great way to recognize what the holiday is--not to make money!! I spent the afternoon down at The Point--some people were swimming in the pool--others were out on boats or on paddleboards BUT a bunch of WW2 vets and a few of us from Korea plus 2 from Vietnam sat around and told the kids (grandchildren of residents) all the BS war stories we could come up with! And there was a BBQ going on in the community room--a warm, sunny, friendly day and showing respect not only to those gone but a couple of Gold Star Mothers (now in their 90s) who were the heroines of today!

Why they can't pause for a moment of silence for the fallen and gallant men and women?
