According to the Marblehead Fireworks Committee:

Riverhead Beach - you will see both sides of the fireworks and illumination. Also the place with the most parking.

Fort Sewall - One of the best places to watch but limited parking. If you're going to watch from Fort Sewall, walk. 

Fort Beach -- The view is great, but it's not well lit or easy to walk so wear sneakers and bring a flash light.

Crocker Park - A favorite spot to watch, the park will also host a live band, which will play until the star of the fireworks and then continue after. 

Chandler Hovey Park  - The perfect place to watch the show, but be careful -- there is no parking at the park after 6 p.m.
