It's a $500 box before the discount that the seller gives for purchasing his premier box each year. Then we bought more on top of that, extra sparklers and mini pop bombs for the children. It's quite a show for a neighborhood. The party starts around noon and winds down at 10:30-11pm. I'm in charge of mixing drinks starting at about 3 o'clock. I do not light the fireworks after that. I build a platform each year so we don't destroy the street. My big plastic trash can is almost completely full of spent cardboard.
We also have live music.
