I like fireworks and would like to use them but I also feel like the 4th of July isn't exactly the reasons I want to be celebrating

May 9 is the one fascists and other anti-communists hate the most, by the way, (they are trying to ban it in Europe) so that is the one that i make sure to celebrate each year.

International Workers' Day/Labor day comes to mind. But I don't know if people use fireworks for that.

Also New Year's Eve because it means we are closer to a new 5-Year-Plan 😌 /s
