What better way to celebrate the 4th of July holiday than enjoying a beautiful fireworks show...while on the beach?

Fourth of July season can be a tough time for veterans with PTSD, high-anxiety pets and other people who are sensitive to loud noises.  With silent fireworks, people can still go to WATCH fireworks while allowing others to peacefully co-exist.

You going to wear red, white and blue?

Do you plan to hit up a BBQ? Fun fact: 4th of July is the single-most popular day people choose to barbecue and grill.

Another fun fact: a massive 150,000,000 hot dogs are consumed in the USA on 4th of July alone. How many will you contribute to that number?

Happy 4th of July.

Have fun. Be safe.
