I personally have attended 4th of July fireworks shows at Copper Harbor, Marquette, Lake Linden, South Range, and Ishpeming. All of these communities put on great displays that will not disappoint!
The two most popular locations are Copper Harbor or Marquette. These locations usually pull in thousands and thousands of spectators. So, if your looking for a good crowd and an awesome show, check one of these out!
A quick word of advice: if you are attending the Copper Harbor 4th of July fireworks, plan on hanging around after the show for 1+ hours while traffic clears out, or sit in line in the vehicle. I usually enjoy hanging out around town catching up with friends until traffic clears out….or going to Fort Wilkins State Park to stay the night.
