It's almost the Fourth of July, which means that it's also almost time for dazzling fireworks photos to take over social media. To prepare, you'll want to start collecting Instagram captions for Fourth of July fireworks pics, because with so much competition on social media — aka, everyone else will be posting their pics at the same time — you'll need a great caption to stand out. When it comes to finding the perfect caption for a picture that's ultimately pretty similar to all the other pictures people are posting, you need to get creative. You need to start thinking about less obvious ways to talk about fireworks and the experience of celebrating. Basically, you've got to get clever.

But who has time to sit around planning the most unique Instagram captions when you're out enjoying the holiday and actually watching the fireworks? Well, I do. That's why I've gone ahead and made a list of viable captions for you. Now you can actually be present and experience the fireworks offline. Then, once you're ready to post, you can use one of these captions. Otherwise, we both know there's a good chance that your fireworks picture will sit in the purgatory that is the drafts folder. There's nothing like caption-related brain fog to ruin a great post opportunity. Friends don't let friends leave caption-less photos in drafts. Here are 25 rescue remedies for your epic firework photos:
