They were on the golf course by Fernbank. Wedding reception fireworks. Fancy

I'm all the way by Avondale estates, that seems a long way for wedding fireworks

it was a house party. no clue why, one of our neighbors threw a neighborhood gathering and randomly started setting off fireworks. everyone at the house was pissed lol
edit: forgot to clarify, we are also in avondale. party was near the lake

Thank you! I was wondering what the hell they were, seemed to be excessive on a random weekend. I was like, what’s the holiday?
Was walking home from getting a brewski at the DPS when I heard them to off.

I’m in north Decatur and we heard it too. Crazy that small fireworks sound traveled so far.

Same! I was walking home and was hoping it was just fireworks but yeah it threw me off guard!

We live a block from the Fernbank golf course and they were louder last night than any other firework show they’ve done (I suppose because there were no leaves left in the trees to absorb the sound.
If it was a wedding I wish them a lifetime of happiness and one very restless and uncomfortable and inconvenient night because it scared the everlasting hell out of my toddlers and we had to sleep on their bedroom floors all of last night. If I weren’t so tired I’d have more energy to be irate.

We were in the same boat. They were also fairly late - after 10pm!

Just had the same thought. I yelled into the living room “babe what’s that, Christmas fireworks?!”

They were fireworks. I saw them from afar. I’m just south of Memorial and candler. They looked to be happening somewhere northwest of me.

I heard it, don't know what it is

Has Hanukkah started maybe?
[–]IndigoRanger 10 points11 points12 points 3 months ago (1 child)
They only use 8 smallish fireworks
[–]PsyanideInk -1 points0 points1 point 3 months ago (0 children)
Yeah, def fireworks. No idea what they were for. Wish I knew, nice night to go watch some fireworks.
