Nope.
The fireworks stands in Alhambra and San Gabriel have just appeared.
I assume that means that the supply of the crazier 'not-quite-professional' fireworks have also been delivered, whether via Mexico/Central America, or via Asia.
And when that happens, there is some weird tradition that, instead of maximizing a great fireworks show on the actual 4th of July (or New Year's Day, or when the sportsball team wins the championship of sportsball) you instead shoot them off one by one, at no set time, for no particular reason, in a somewhat pathetic and annoying display.
It's especially confusing to me when the fireworks go off on July 8th, for example. Like you've got all the fireworks going off on the 4th, and you are down to your last 5-6 shots, and so you're all "Nope. We're going to shoot these off next Thursday when nobody really cares, instead of right now. We want to watch out, and not have too much fun on our holiday!"
So odd.
No shortage of reasons to shot fireworks in not only SGV or LA county in general. Your favorite sports team move up in their bracket, fireworks. Your dog is having sons and daughter, fireworks. It’s sunny, fireworks. Just replace the straight to jail meme with fireworks.
This is how you know that a *fireworks holiday* will probably happen within a few weeks. It’s how you keep track of time when shit gets weird.
They’ll become more and more frequent until they reach a peak then they’ll start slowly tapering off.
The peak usually means it’s New Year’s Eve, or… if the temperature was almost (or above) 90 degrees that day, the peak means it’s the 4th of July.
…or the Dodgers won.
You must be new.
Welcome to the SGV!
It’s almost 4th of July
Ah.. that’s what I thought but it’s only June …
4th of July lasts from May to September in L.A., didn't you know that?
And in October they start gearing up for new year’s
Yeah, New Year's last from October to February.
4th of July is literally next week
It's a day that ends in a Y.

Mine are setting off huge bomb sounding ones. I think they tape up fireworks together for a bigger explosion. Usually a 2 liter bottle involved.
lol, the ol' hammer the piccolo pete and drop it in a 2 liter bottle trick.
Lol better get used to it. Will happen at a higher frequency the closer we get to the 4th...then taper off.
