John Hunt Park
Low crowd · park · Free
Far enough south to see both the MidCity show and Toyota Field's fireworks across the sky if you climb the rugby/soccer berms — Martinson & Beason reminds residents that fireworks are illegal inside Huntsville city limits, so John Hunt is a legal viewing spot only, no personal launches. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
