Backdated to the 4 July fireworks
[Bilbo will be staring out of his castle window at the firework display in the city. It was a magnificent sight and reminded him of being back in Bag End with Gandalf's fireworks. They were something else, being created by magic mostly. He sighed and placed his chin on his hands, as his eyes misted over for a few moments.
He tears his eyes away from the sight, as he opens his journal and thinks of what to write. Why was there a celebration within the city? Was it someone's birthday? Or something else entirely? He frowned, before eventually thinking of something.]
I am curious to know why there are fireworks within the city. Is it someone's birthday or something else entirely? I am enjoying watching them, as the colours are spectacular!

It's fun to get to set them off outside of a battlefield situation. Normally explosives are the sort of thing you try to avoid.
I've heard that some old superstitious cultures thought they scared off evil or something. Maybe it's a cheating death thing? Playing with something that could kill or maim you.
No one ever said people were smart.
