We've rounded up all the fireworks shows, parades and festivals happening near Wilmington so you can start planning now — whether you want to stay local or travel to another show nearby.

As many in the state know, fireworks are very illegal in Massachusetts, and so we're including only shows that have been licensed by the state Department of Fire Services. These fireworks shows include events that take place before and after July 4.

Unfortunately, weather will play a role in Fourth of July plans this year with the forecast calling for severe thunderstorms, which could cause postponements or cancellations of festivities.
