So what is there to do on July 4th<\/sup> this year?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Here are just some of the things that we know are available to do in the metro area on July 4th<\/sup>:<\/p>\n

Thunder on the Mountain<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want to watch the fireworks originating from Red Mountain<\/a>, just plop yourself down somewhere that you have a view of Vulcan. Getting up to Vulcan will mean heading out early. Otherwise, just be sure you’re not blocking traffic and you should be good to go.<\/p>\n

The only way to watch Thunder on the Mountain<\/strong> if you’re easily able to view him will be via Fox 6<\/a> beginning at 9 p.m. Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

UAB Summer Band performance, Bartow Arena<\/strong><\/p>\n

You could also take in a performance by the UAB Summer Band and perhaps buy a chance to conduct the band during their July 4th<\/sup><\/a> concert the lawn adjacent to Bartow Arena. Cost: Free.<\/p>\n

American Village Laser Light Show<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a simpler, less explosive thing to do this year, you could drive down to Montevallo and take in the laser light show at American Village<\/a> (after enjoying a fun-filled day of activities<\/a>). Cost: $5, veterans and active military personnel admitted free.<\/p>\n

Barons vs. Jacksonville Suns, Regions Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re not going to the Kid Rock concert yet still want to be around a lot of people watching an event, you can always go cheer on our Birmingham Barons<\/a> as they play the Jacksonville Suns<\/strong> at the Reg. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m.<\/strong> And they’re fireworks scheduled for afterwards<\/a>. So there’s an outside chance that if the game’s played fast enough, you could see two different fireworks displays in one night!<\/p>\n

Plus, kids will get a chance to see Bob the Builder<\/strong> courtesy of McWane Science Center.<\/p>\n

There’s bound to be more, but we just wanted to give you an idea of what’s available.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"<\/a>
