Where is the best place to watch the Flashes of Freedom Fireworks?

We know you want the best view to watch the Flashes of Freedom Fireworks, so we've put together this list from viewers sharing their favorite spots.

Here are the best places to watch:

Point State Park

The fireworks will be set off at the confluence of the three rivers at 9:30pm.  There is open seating at Point State Park and along the North Shore, and it is all first come, first serve.

The best seat may be right at the fountain where the view is unobstructed.

West End Overlook

We talked to Erica Devito, a member of the Elliott neighborhood association. She is a little partial to the view at the West End overlook.

“Truly, it is the greatest view in Pittsburgh,” she gushed.

The West End Overlook provides a straight shot to the Point with no obstruction. Plus, Devito said the overlook offers a lot more on the holiday.

Mt. Washington

If you’re looking for an aerial view, another spot is Mt. Washington near the Duquesne Incline.

Remember, some of the sidewalks on Mt. Washington are closed for repairs.

North Shore

The North Shore gives you a great unobstructed view along the Allegheny River.

There are even some grassy spots to take a seat.

And if none of that appeals to you, you can always stay at home with the family and watch the Flashes of Freedom Fireworks on Channel 11 and WPXI.com.
