We've caught them 2x this year, both completely unplanned. In the first case it was the July 4'th display and we were driving back from a friends house and happened to be just at the Weirs when they started, a bit late, like everyone else this year. We heard the 1'st boom, pulled in and double parked, along with everyone else, on the main drag. Very good show from there. There was traffic leaving but it moved out pretty quickly, not a real issue. Just last week we caught them from a dinner/dance cruise on the Mount. It was the show I'd expect you'd catch any Friday now and was pretty good, especially the finale. I didn't time it, but it must have been 20 - 30 mins long. Since we didn't park there this go around I couldn't advise you how long ahead of time you'd need to arrive to be assured of a "real" parking place. They are launched right from the beach so I'd guess almost anywhere on Rt3 up the hill (towards Meredith) would also have visibility, although lacking the closeness and sound volume on being on the Weirs proper.
