Believe me, I know because I have been there too in the past. Now Westsiders should already know how quickly Transmountain's rest area fills up on the Westside and Northeast.

If you live on the Westside and want to stay close to home, you got options. There are a few areas you're close by and can enjoy fireworks on the 4th of July.

Trying to find where you can see fireworks on the Westside isn't hard. If you have ever been around Canutillo then you know even the neighborhoods are popping.

You also can't forget another spot that loves your company every year, Wet N' Wild Waterworld in Anthony. Plus, KLAQ will provide the 4th of July fireworks spectacular soundtrack.

Now as for Central we ALL know Scenic Drive is going to be jam-packed on every single side. But there are some spots around El Paso you can watch those sparks fly from different areas.

There are also some hidden areas with magnificent views you can enjoy a fireworks spectacular show for free. Besides during inflation families could really use free at this kind of time.

For example, one spot has a gnarly view of East, Northeast, and Juarez some locals enjoy overlooking fireworks. Over the year people will use the parking lot of Wyler Aerial Tramway to check out the fireworks.
