Fourth of July in Massapequa Park

For the second year in a row, we attended the Massapequa Park fireworks show in Mansfield Park at Walker Street which was held on Friday July 1.

The show had originally been cancelled this year due to Massapequa Park Village budget limitations; however, the event was brought back and sponsored by Supervisor Venditto and the Town of Oyster Bay.

When we arrived, we found the park packed with people. We walked by chairs and blankets on the grass, children running around and extended families sharing snacks.  Vendors sold things to eat and drink and glow necklaces and swords for the kids (and adults) to play with.

A concert by Time Was Productions was performed before the show. The fireworks show started after sundown following a few words from Massapequa Park Mayor James Altodonna and Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto. The fireworks were accompanied by music.

Here are some videos:

More fireworks…

And the grand finale!

In memory of our dear friend Anthony whose favorite holiday was the Fourth of July.
