About Seasonal
Long after the parade ends and the sun finally drops, the real magic moves into the backyard. A lit sparkler traces bright arcs in the dark — that satisfying sizzle, the shower of white-hot embers, and the faint curl of smoke rising into the warm July air. From the sharp crack and bang of firecrackers on the sidewalk to the slow, golden gleam of a fuse burning down, the after-dark hours of the Fourth have a texture all their own.
