We normally stick to covering music here on the Local Current Blog, but let's face it: when it comes to the Fourth of July, the real draw is the fireworks display. Here's your guide to fireworks (and some music!) in the Twin Cities metro.

Downtown Minneapolis is hosting its annual Red, White and BOOM festivities all along the riverfront, with prime fireworks viewing along St. Anthony Main and in Boom Island Park. Prior to the fireworks, Romantica will perform at the Nicollet Island Pavillion at 7 p.m., and a screening of Captain America will begin at 9 p.m.

Minneapolis also has a firework display in Powderhorn Park, along with a full day of family-friendly activities. Musicians performing in Powderhorn this year include Phil Heywood (4:30 p.m.), Detroit Don King (8:30 p.m.), and more.

And Saint Paul will launch fireworks from Harriet Island this year, even in the absence of the annual Taste of Minnesota celebration. The new fireworks display is being funded by Live Nation, who just threw their inaugural River's Edge Festival in that space last month. 

To help you navigate this year's fireworks and find the display closest to you, we've compiled a map of the major 2012 fireworks shows happening throughout the state this week.
