The city's Fourth of July celebration ended with a bang on Saturday night with a 20-minute fireworks display over the Art Museum. The fireworks followed a free concert on the Parkway. Thousands came out for the event.
The crowd was treated to a concert by Philadelphia's own The Roots and pop singer Sheryl Crow who won over the crowd playing hit after hit. It was all capped by a nineteen minute fireworks display that had the crowd oohing and ahhing:
“They’re just beautiful. They’re just like nothing you've ever seen before. The crowd’s everything. It was beautiful, honestly beautiful. “
