Each year we're asked where to see fireworks when you stay a Virginia State Park over the 4th of July holiday. 

This year we decided to pose this question to our Park'rs online and open it up for others to share where the great fireworks and Independence Day celebrations will be happening near our parks. 

Farmville hosts Fireworks After Dark event each year

Fireworks After Dark is Farmville's annual Independence Day celebration on Wednesday July 3. Come out and celebrate with an evening filled with good music, food vendors and a spectacular firework show.

We know that traditionally Smith Mountain Lake has a huge fireworks display over the water and seen from Smith Mountain Lake State Park, Colonial Beach has one seen from Westmoreland State Park, and Jamestown has one seen from Chippokes State Park.
