    Isn’t that what parades are for?

    Kinda. Parades are also for showing off nuclear warheads and how precisely your soldiers can march.

    Fireworks are a more non centralized version of it. Everyone can participate in the fireworks, not just stand there and watch.

    Also they burst in air, giving them better visibility than something that just flows down the street in front of you.
