East Ridge High School Parking Lot
High crowd · Arrive by 8:00 PM · landmark · Free
The designated overflow lot immediately NORTH/NORTHWEST of the launch, giving a tailgate-style view and the fastest exit.

Pioneer Drive / Bielenberg Athletic Fields Green Space
Medium crowd · Arrive by 8:15 PM · park · Free
A lower-density alternative on the south/east edge of the Bielenberg complex. Face NORTH-NORTHWEST toward the launch fields; with 36 outdoor fields here, find a gap between the ballfield fences for an open sightline — outfield light standards are the main obstruction. Quieter than the main lawn with a quicker walk back to neighborhood streets. NO parking on Pioneer Drive itself; use the sports-center lots and walk over. Arrive by 8:15 p.m. CONFIRMED Saturday, July 4, 2026, 10 p.m. Show type: fireworks.

Carver Lake Park Beach (distant lake option)
Low crowd · Arrive by 8:30 PM · waterfront · Free
Woodbury's lakefront option for those who want water and elbow room: a public beach ~2.5 mi NORTHWEST of the launch. Face SOUTHEAST toward the Bielenberg complex; only the higher aerial bursts clear the intervening tree canopy at this distance, so treat it as a relaxed lake-reflection silhouette view rather than a full-detail show. The beach's calm water adds a modest reflection bonus on the southeast horizon. Free lot; arrive by 8:30 p.m. CONFIRMED Saturday, July 4, 2026, 10 p.m. (launch is at Bielenberg, not the lake). Show type: fireworks.
Sightline: Public beach ~2.5 mi NW of launch on Carver Lake. Face SE toward Bielenberg. Only higher aerial bursts clear the intervening tree canopy at this distance — relaxed lake-reflection silhouette view, not full-detail show.
⚠️ ~2.5 mi from launch — only higher aerial bursts visible through tree canopy. Treat as relaxed silhouette view. Free lot. Launch is at Bielenberg, not the lake.
Radio Drive Hotel Cluster – Courtyard/Sheraton St. Paul Woodbury (base only)
Low crowd · hotel room · Paid
FLAG — DOES NOT FACE THE LAUNCH: Woodbury's hotels sit ~4 miles NORTH of the Bielenberg launch near I-94. Fireworks would be far to the SOUTH and blocked by trees/buildings, so these are a convenient overnight base, not a viewing spot. Drive or rideshare ~10 minutes south to Bielenberg. If you want any chance of a glimpse, request a high-floor SOUTH-facing room, but do not count on it. Courtyard by Marriott St Paul Woodbury rates ~$130–$190; book 3–4 weeks ahead. CONFIRMED Saturday, July 4, 2026, 10 p.m. Show type: fireworks.
