I haven't found an answer on the web yet, but according to the U.S. Census Bureau, last year we (America) imported $201.9 million dollars in fireworks from China, and exported $14.9 million of our own.
American households collectively "spend more than $420 million a year on fireworks, according to the Consumer Expenditure Survey. And that figure doesn't even include the amount of money private and government organizations shell out for public shows. Among private citizens, older Americans - those age 75 and up - are 209 percent more likely than average to spend on backyard pyrotechnics. No surprise then that they claim 29 percent of the firework market share" (from second listed source).
Sorry I didn't find what that would be per household, and not specifically for the Fourth of July. But that's a good start and I hope that gives you something to work with.

When my kids were little we probably spent about $20.00. But we didn't get anything really big!
Fireworks are illegal in our state, but we go to the next state and they are really cheap!
I know people who spend a fortune every year on fireworks.
Me, I'd much rather just go and watch the display.

In my area some spend $800 easily. We stay home and watch all around the house, why travel to Park?

If you add everyone up it is probably some where in the millions, but it is good to celebrate freedom!
