Alton Fireworks
I think the Lake Patrol people do a pretty good job of keeping the boats in line (literally) on the night of the fireworks. We did get to see the July 4th spectacular two summers ago. They had the fireworks on the 2nd (a Saturday). We were leaving on the 3rd so we did watch. We took the boat about as far as Peggy's Cove - just south of Echo Point - and watched from there. The fireworks were pretty tiny, but the view was still good.
Going home was easy since most people were further up the bay. I love watching the slow line of boats behind the Lake Patrol boat as it moves out of the bay. Of course, there is always someone who tries to sneak around.
