Crowds pack Coney for fireworks and fun
Coney Island’s second annual Independence Day firework celebration went off with a bang this year!
After an action packed Fourth of July, massive crowds gathered in viewing locations at Steeplechase Plaza and on the Coney Island Boardwalk to catch a glimpse of Coney Island’s firework display.
“It was awesome and it was breathtaking,” said Bhenisha B. “Last year I was in Manhattan, and I could not see [the fireworks] that clearly. In Coney Island I find that you can sit down on the beach and see the fireworks, so that was a special thing compared to Manhattan.”
