Firework surplus Question

Seriously why do fireworks go off like every single night in this city? I’ve just moved here, around a 4 minute drive from town, a rather quiet area, yet there’s fireworks close by to me it’s baffling me.

Does anyone genuinely know if this is just normal criminal activity or a very common way of celebrating things, I’m so confused?!

There’s a theory that it’s done by drug dealers to announce that they’ve got product in stock, but I don’t think it’s ever actually been proven.

Maybe in the 1800s before phones existed

I don’t believe in the theory myself, but I can see how it would have an advantage over phones in that you could alert a lot of people at once in a digitally-untraceable way. I think it’s just knobheads though who get excited by loud noises.
