Google Trends cited 1000+ searches for 'fireworks july 31' in CA, and broad event-discovery demand is validated by Eventbrite's 89M monthly users and 83M paid tickets in 2024, but demand is highly seasonal and concentrated around July 4th and New Year's.Eventbrite Statistics (2026): Monthly Users, Tickets Sold, Events ↗

MVP is buildable from public city calendars, NOAA weather APIs, and existing aggregator sites like findafireworksshow.com; the main engineering lift is consolidating fragmented municipal/event data plus crowd-sourced viewing spots, which is straightforward but not trivial.Find Fireworks Shows Near Me | Year-Round ↗
