Approximately 1,000 fireworks exploded over Charm City in celebration of the nation’s 248th birthday
The United States celebrated its 248th birthday yesterday in all the usual ways — hotdogs, cheeseburgers and fireworks.
Charm City was no different as red, white and blue dotted the iconic slopes of Federal Hill Park as people waited for the fireworks show to begin. Approximately 1,000 fireworks lit up the sky as spectators oohed and ahhed during the show.
