'Boom by the Bay' Fourth of July fireworks celebration lights up downtown Tampa

TAMPA - Tampa's signature Fourth of July event, dubbed Boom by the Bay, lit up the night sky downtown with the city's annual fireworks display.

Festivities were held throughout the day at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, complete with music, food trucks and an array of family-friendly activities.

It all built up to the annual fireworks show, which Mayor Jane Castor called a "signature event" for the city at a news conference earlier this week.
