Happy birthday America! Take a look at these pictures to see how Nassau County celebrated America in Eisenhower Park

Posted

The sky above Eisenhower Park’s Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre was aglow on July 1 as thousands of people enjoyed the annual TD Bank “Celebrate America” event.

Visitors young and old donning red, white and blue all comfortable on their respective blankets or chairs enjoyed the show leading up the pyrotechnic spectacle put on by Fireworks by Grucci.

Fireworks by Grucci dates back to 1850 in Italy, when the family began experimenting with pyrotechnics. The Gruccis brought the company to Elmont after immigrating to the U.S. in 1870.

As a new edition, the prelude included a drone and laser light show. Different shapes were displayed in the sky, much to everyone’s amazements. The nights tunes were brought to attendees by the winner of the county’s recently concluded Battle of the Bands competition, Pete Mancini and the Hillside Airmen.

After the show everyone turned their attention to the sky to see colorful bombs explode in the sky as America marks another year.
