Spectacular Fireworks for the Fourth of July

A lively crowd gathered at the Scarsdale Public Pool on Thursday, June 29, in anticipation of Scarsdale’s annual fireworks spectacular. The pool complex was packed with residents armed with lawn chairs and picnic blankets, occupying every inch of the lawn. Those looking to watch the display from a more spacious environment set up camp adjacent to the pool complex on Winston Field.

Residents began arriving early in the evening to claim spots on the pool complex’s lawn. As families settled down to enjoy snacks and meals, some more youthful residents could be seen splashing around the pool and playing lawn games. At 7:30 PM, the Westchester Band, directed by Alan Hollander, began the evening with a selection of patriotic songs.

The band began by playing America the Beautiful, setting the tone for the night. Among the songs played were American Overture, the Star Spangled Spectacular, and Stars and Stripes Forever. After a brief intermission, the crowd waited for the night’s main attraction—the fireworks spectacular—to begin.

As glimmers of light danced across the sky, the display captivated and dazzled the audience. The foggy evening added a unique and mystical aspect to the show. After about half an hour and an exciting finale, residents exited the pool complex in waves—another successful spectacular.
