What a night tonight at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater for Celebration on the river. My guess well over 7000 people attended the show. All races and nationalities where in the house celebrating the country they love.

The afternoon kicked off with Giant inflatables and lots of food and drinks at the Para Kids Zone. Kids waited in line for a long time just to get a few minutes to play inside one. Me myself, I found a father and son throwing a football so I just had to step in and show his son how to really throw a football.

At about 6pm the gates opened up to the Amphitheater and the crowd flowed in to grab the best seats in the, there were some who positioned themselves across the street in the grassy area with pop up tents to get a great view. I betting that's not all they had under that tent.

The fireworks show started  at 9pm sharp, 20 minutes of Boom Bam Boom all happened along with the Tuscaloosa symphony, what a show, the faces in the crowd on the little ones was unforgettable. If you missed it you missed quite a show, as most kids would say, " Lets do this again ", see ya next year Tuscaloosa.
