This should be cool,

if you can find a place away from the city lights to watch. Have seen this meteor shower, accidentally, when I've been camping in the mountains, and it is AWESOME. One night we literally collapsed our tent, and slept on top of it, going to sleep with an amazing light show, and woke up covered in frost, but it was worth it.
The brightest meteor shower of the year is coming up, and it should be very easy to see.The 2015 Perseid meteor shower will happen from July 13 to August 26, with activity peaking around August 12 and 13.The Perseids are typically the brightest of the year. And Earthsky.org says that this year should be an especially good year for Perseids since the moon will not come out until after sunrise, avoiding the pesky bright light it gives off.
Earthsky says the best time for viewing is after midnight, but this is basic 'science' and I'm sure the Pubs will say it's a hoax. For the rest of us though, it should be pretty amazing.
