One idea is to find a nice hill and watch a dozen shows from it.
I used to go on hill behind Stanford, with a zillion other people,
and watch up to 16 separate shows as far away as Half Moon Bay and Crissy
Field San Francisco.  It can be chilly or mosquitos up there.

This idea probably does work in the LA haze, although I saw a gorgeous
sunset from a hill in Diamond Bar, San Gabriel Valley yesterday.
As for fireworks, I just have to pop outside at 9:30 every night and
catch the Disneyland show :-)
