WalletHub has crunched the data and has come up with the best places to celebrate the Fourth of July.

The company compared the 100 largest cities in the U.S. and ranked them based on the balance between cost and fun, using 18 metrics from the cost of beer and wine to the length of the fireworks shows, plus how well the weather will cooperate.

The National Retail Federation estimates that households will spend $9.4 billion this year to celebrate America 250.
