Wilson, you are correct! EPCOT Forever is currently playing each night around the World Showcase. This gives Guests hanging out on Disney's Boardwalk a fairly good view of the show.

The answer to your question is Yes you can see the Harmonious Fireworks from Crescent Lake and the Boardwalk, but you can only see the large overhead fireworks. Trees are blocking the ground effects such as the video screens, lower fireworks, the fountains, or the fire effects.
You might not hear the music, but you will have a good view of the fireworks. Another good place to watch outside of EPCOT is from the EPCOT parking lot. Most days, Disney will stop charging for parking an hour or two before the end of the night. You should be able to park for free, and then watch the show.
The more popular of the two is the bridge that is near the International Gateway Entrance to EPCOT. It is located past ESPN Club and before Disney's Beach Club. This is a great place to see the fireworks, because you are close! You might be able to hear the music from this location.
Epcot Forever is a temporary show, they run it while they are doing lagoon work so it's short and to the point. It runs at approximately 11 minutes or so each evening, which is perfectly quick for tired families but also may be a bit underwhelming compared to other fireworks spectaculars at Disney.
The Walt Disney World resort in Florida has four theme parks, two water parks, a handful of hotels and a golf course. A little-known secret also worth visiting is Disney's BoardWalk. Filled with restaurants, hotels and a dueling piano bar, Disney's BoardWalk offers ticket-free entry and plenty of things to do.
The Boardwalk also provides the best location from the standpoint of getting to the parks. While the Beach Club is marginally closer to Epcot, the difference is negligible, but it is MUCH closer to the Studios.
Epcot Forever is definitely less of a production than both IllumiNations and Harmonious, but as always fireworks shows at Disney tug at your heartstrings and are really a perfect ending to any park day.
While you might not be able to get absolutely everything in the park done in a day (with the near-constant stream of Epcot festivals, there's often just too much to see, do, and eat), you will certainly be able to accomplish most or all of the rides, plus make a dent in whatever else strikes your fancy around World ...
If you're looking for a more low key place to spend an evening, Disney's BoardWalk might just be the place to go. You don't need a park ticket or dining reservation to enjoy this charming spot. While there aren't nearly as many dining or shopping options, it's perfect for some relaxing family fun.
In fact, you can enter EPCOT with a valid park admission through the International Gateway (World Showcase) entrance near the BoardWalk. It's only about a 10-minute walk between the BoardWalk and the EPCOT side entrance, about a half mile in length.
Of course, with so much to ride, eat, see, and do, you could spend at least one full day at Epcot, and some guests staying for a week opt to visit more than once, coming back another afternoon to take advantage of the restaurants and entertainment.
