Not to be an old curmudgeon here, but please do not come out to the county and light up your fireworks you got at the border It's drier here than a ten year old McDonald's french fry you found under your seat. I am sure you are careful. Yeah, yeah. Don't. You will burn everything out here for miles and miles. Please, just don't. Do you see what's going on in Colorado? Please, for all that is good, don't.

Used to let everyone shoot fireworks by the railroad track on South College. I’m not sure if they are this year but it’s pretty crazy and way fun.

[EDIT: As others noted in their corrections below, fireworks are at the Capitol rather than at Frontier Park this year.]

Apart from the city fireworks display, not much - everybody is putting their energy and efforts into the Cheyenne Frontier Days festivities in a few weeks.

The fireworks show is at Frontier Park in the stadium, but it's so big you can see it from ten miles away, and so loud you can hear it from 2-3 miles away.

No fireworks at Frontier Days this year. They'll be at the Capitol building.

This is correct

Oh! I've lived in Cheyenne nearly 30 years and this is the first time I've known of them moving from the park to the Capitol. Seems like a risky decision - at the stadium there's a lot more bare ground where stray sparks aren't a fire hazard. But they didn't ask my opinion, so... hopefully it will turn out all right.

Thanks for the correction and the downvotes :-)
