North, central or south Irvine?

I think there are 2 Irvine shows, Northwood Heritage Park and Woodbridge.

EDIT: Heritage Park is more accurate than Northwood.

IHO, do you have any links/info on Heritage Park and Woodbridge firework?
The Heritage Park one is the one that other posters have posted about, the Irvine High event. You can pay to go into that one or just go to Heritage Park for free and watch:

The Woodbridge one I googled for and found this:

(man you are lazy! :) )
 
I pulled up to Heritage Park at 8:45pm (what was I thinking).  Apparently a lot of other last minute watchers as well, place was packed.  Drove around the parking lot once and no spots to be had, was driving around the 2nd time when the show started and everyone driving around just stopped their cars and watched the show from inside the car.  We were actually at a pretty good viewing spot when we stopped. 

About halfway through a cop came up to the window with her flashlight and told me to start the engine and move the car.  Some people had abandoned their cars right in the aisle of the lot and walked out to watch the show and she was writing them tickets fast and furious.  Good thing we didn't do that. 

Had to leave the lot when the show was about 3/4 done but saw the finale while driving down Walnut.  Not bad for getting there with 15 min until showtime and not having to pay to get into IHS.

 
the show is only 20 minutes.  last couple minutes is best. 

i got there around 8:40pm too.  can't find parking and we actually parked at ralph culver+walnut.  10 min walking distance to IHS.  the place is PACKED.  sat on the lawn and firework started at 9.  around 9:10, the lawn sprinkler went off and some people actually got wet. 
 
Hope everyone stayed safe last night. Rumor has it JPP (DE for the Giants) lost multiple fingers and part of his hand while playing with fireworks last night.

Hope that was worth it. Hopefully it doesn't cost him his career

As usual, twitterverse exaggerated. Apparently just burns and maybe some nerve damage to one finger. Not career threatening. May not even be game theatening. But still dumb on his part.
