Possibly following in the traditions of Christmas decorations in November and summer Black Friday sales, some municipalities have been celebrating American Independence Day weeks in advance. Much of a super-genius as I am, I never really understood what’s the rush. In any case, the linked article from our pals over at BridgeMichigan lists the pyrotechnic spectacles planned and already passed here in the Great State of Talktothehand-and-Belial.
Just to—ehmmm—present the other side of the coin for those who appreciated a pretty explosion, here’s Planet Detroit’s “Michigan fireworks add to air quality problems”.
Screw humans: maybe it is time to consider a different way to celebrate the Fourth of July: from the Humane Society: “Fireworks: An explosion of fear for animals”
Oh, and a premature Happy Canada Day to our friends to the North…uh, and South! You know…the ones with better beer and better health care…

WOW! Prettyyyyyy!…and most likely cost-prohibitive like you suggested, or at least for the near future.
I was thinking more along the lines of “noiseless”/low-noise displays. While not actually “noiseless” (yes, it’s hard to discern in the linked videos), in my experience this breed of pro-grade fireworks is noticably quieter than traditional fireworks.
