Thousands pack the Ben Franklin Parkway to celebrate July 4th in Philadelphia

While some people traveled out of town for the Fourth of July, many chose to stay and celebrate right here in Philadelphia, the birthplace of America.

I had an enjoyable time attending the July 4th fireworks by the parkway tonight! I attended the event with my friends who are local in the Philadelphia region.
