The City of Danville put on its annual Independence Day fireworks show Tuesday night to celebrate the 241st birthday of the United States.
Thousands filled Millennium Park and nearby side streets as the show went off in perfect weather without a hitch.
“You can sit on the side of the road and watch, but there’s nothing like having them explode over your head,” said Todd Pendygraft as he sat with his family near the front of the crowds at Millennium Park. “That brings back the kid in everybody.”
