With July 4th, the United States of America’s Independence Day, nearly upon us, many are undoubtedly wondering where to go to view the main event of every Independence Day, fireworks. Luckily, there are several official fireworks displays planned all over the island from Waik\u012bk\u012b to the North Shore. Here are all the places on O\u02bbahu one can go to admire colorful explosions lighting up the night sky on Tuesday, July 4.<\/p>\n

The fireworks, which will be launched from three platforms at Ala Moana Beach Park, will be viewed best from the shopping center itself and Magic Island.
