For the Pfaff family, this is a yearly tradition.
“My daughter’s 21, and we’ve been coming down for many years. She came as a little girl, and now we’re coming back,” Megan Pfaff said.
Pfaff said there are a lot of great fireworks shows in the Miami Valley, but this is her favorite.
“It’s always been a lot of fun, and never really have to worry about too many issues with stuff hitting your when you’re in the crowd,” she said.
One thing people are grateful for this year is not having to worry about rain.
“Well, and the humidity has died down. So that makes a big difference,” Pfaff said.

This was the first year at that location.
The Hoskins family said it’s been a great way to kick off the holiday weekend.

In Centerville, the fireworks show may be over, but the party is not over.
People will be back in the morning for the Americana Festival, one of the area’s largest Fourth of July celebrations.
