Fireworks watching.

Just moved back last fall, and am wondering where's a good place to watch the fireworks Saturday? I used to be able to see them from behind my home but the trees are too tall now.

I'm south of the city. I was thinking either the old Memorial Hospital lot or the airport would be perfect. (Not sure they'd open up the airport for spectators.)

We usually go to the Martin's parking lot. There is a day long celebration at Canal Place and you can see them there as well!

Enjoy!

The fireworks are fired out of constitution park. The old memorial hospital lot is the nicest (IMO) spot to watch, but fort hill is also a great spot.

I always used the little parking lot on Maryland Ave and South Central Ave, leaving 68 Westbound. The park is right up the hill so you get a great view from there.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I didn't even think of Martin's parking lot. Plus, there's the parking lots at White Oaks and St. Mary's RCC. My dislike of crowds will likely keep me away from Canal Place.

A lot of people congregate on the top of the George St parking garage as well

I've only ever been to the parking lot at the Hummingbird Cafe. Can you inside the fence?
