Keep your fingers crossed for good weather this Independence Day, and head out to some of our favorite firework-watching spots. Portland’s Eastern Prom: If you’re looking for a big scene with lots of people and a great pyrotechnic show, the prom is the place to be (www.portlandmaine.gov). Cousins Island Bridge: A small crew gathers on this Casco Bay bridge each year. The biggest perk: you can see fireworks from Portland, Freeport, and several other towns all at once. Lincolnville Beach: Sit back and relax on this small cove beach on Route 1 and look straight out to the Islesboro fireworks across the way. Greenville: Watch Piscataquis County’s largest display from a canoe on Maine’s largest lake — just make sure you keep a safe distance! (www.mooseheadlake.org/calendar.php)
