Each summer around the Fourth of July, the city of Addison literally goes, "Kaboom!" as wide-eyed spectators all over the restaurant-rich town look skyward. The fireworks, which start at dusk, cap off an evening of events and activities at Addison Circle Park, recognized as one of the nation's best Independence Day celebrations by such publications as USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. Wherever you are in Addison, as you watch the celebratory explosions fill the heavens, you can listen to the accompanying music being simulcast on 100.3 JACK FM during the half-hour fireworks show. The official party at Addison Circle Park features food, live entertainment, a color guard ceremony and other activities. One of the day's many highlights is the flyover of vintage airplanes from Addison's Cavanaugh Flight Museum. -- Gary Taylor (Photo: Addison)
