You can watch from the street (missing some of the lower fireworks), you can pay admission to watch from the pool (I think you miss some of the lower fireworks, but I'm not sure because we haven't tried this option), or you can pay full admission to enjoy pony rides, bouncy house, face painting and more, as well as a buffet BBQ dinner, to watch the fireworks from the golf course. It's a lovely event and the weather tends to be better on the third, so we've enjoyed it both from the street and from the full-blown affair.

This works best if your kids can sit through an entire ballgame ;) About the Fairfax HS show - you can also park at some of the nearby shopping centers (Home Depot, Lotte Plaza, etc) and watch the show from the parking lots. You won't see all of the low stuff, but it'll be easier than fighting the crowds at the school grounds.
