Where to See Fireworks in Oakland County

Last week I posted a list of places that you can watch fireworks in Genesee County and other hot spots in Northern Michigan. This week I wanted to pass along some other options that aren't too far away.

Normally the list below would be a heck of a lot longer but there were a lot of canceled fireworks events in Oakland County this year. A lot of those decisions were made months ago before we knew for sure where we'd be with the pandemic.
