FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE)-- Fort Wayne's firework show is Thursday, July 4, at 10:00 p.m. Fireworks will be lit off from the Indiana Michigan Power rooftop. You may be wondering, "where's the best place to watch the fireworks?" With help from Visit Fort Wayne, we've broken down a few of the hot spots to see the action in the sky. Allen County Courthouse Lawn The Allen County Courthouse Lawn is an ideal place to set up and watch the fireworks. Being so close to the base of Indiana Michigan Power, the sky above you will be filled with fireworks. There is plenty of open space to sit, and you can't get a bad view. Look straight above and enjoy! Allen County Courthouse Lawn view Headwaters Park Headwaters Park has a lot to offer when it comes to watching fireworks. There are acres of green space for you to sit. There are a lot of trees and buildings in the way of IMP, but that won't hurt your view of the sky. Around the pavilions are a great option since their roofs block the view if you sit under them. The space next to, and around Lincoln Memorial Pavilion gives you the best look at IMP and the sky. Try to find a spot away from the trees to get the best view.

After the game, guests are allowed to stay in the stadium to watch the fireworks. There are a few different options to watch them comfortably. Behind home plate: If you have a seat behind home plate for the game, or if you move to find one after the game, you will have prime positioning with a straight on look at the roof of the IMP building. It will be comfortable seating and nothing is in the way of your view.

Although you aren't facing the fireworks directly, all you need to do is turn your body to be in good shape.

The benches may not be as comfortable to sit as the stadium seats, but you're closer to IMP. Just tilt your head up for a great view!

There are benches along the path to sit and watch, or you can bring your own seat. IMP is hard to see, but the fireworks won't be as they light up the sky above the river.
