When there's fireworks in Brookings, South Dakota, it's gotta be the 4th of July (Independence Day). It's some sort of a requirement to have fireworks display to commemorate the freedom of the United States. Whichever State you are, expect to see some colorful blasts in the air, as fireworks light up the sky.


It was my second time to celebrate Independence Day with the Americans at the Swiftel area. Americans loved the day. They brought with them chairs and lawn towels, like they were there for a picnic, while a band played some contemporary music on stage.





I came there solely for the Fireworks. Last year, the display sucked big time that I went home very disappointed. This time,I expected much more fun, much more impressive show of lights. This time, I was close enough to appreciate it.



If the last time rated negative on my own scale, this 2nd time showed a bit of improvement in terms of synchronization of blasts and timing of effects. Spacing between blasts was just okay, it didn't drag long enough to make me sleep, unlike last year's.



Overall, if I rate it from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest), I'd give this year's Brookings Fireworks a passing 6.
