I know what you are thinking – how did I just go from something as awesome sounding as “Americus” to “Indianapolis?” Indianapolis might not have a patriotic name, but that does not stop the city from celebrating the 4^th of July in a big way every year.

The Regions Bank Freedom Blast is a firework display that takes place every year in Indianapolis. At 9:45PM on July 4^th, the city will start shooting fireworks off of the top of the bank building. This is a firework show you’ll be able to see from a ten mile radius all the way around the building. If you cannot make it downtown, but still live in Marion County, there are plenty of other firework displays in Marion County for you to check out.

3. Liberty, Indiana

This is another one of those town names that just screams patriotic. Why wouldn’t you want to celebrate the 4^th of July in Liberty, Indiana?
