Rochester, New York 4th of July Fireworks 2009

Videographer: Jennifer Kumar
The fireworks for this year, 2009, in Rochester, NY was spectacular! The display went on for about 20 minutes. This video is the finale, that started about 10:17 pm. This fireworks display was also to commemorate the 175th birthday of the city of Rochester.
We viewed the Independence fireworks from the Mary Jemison boat's top deck anchored on the Genesee River at Corn Hill Landing. What a great place to see the display, which was set off very close to the location as you can see from the bridge. The bridge you see is the 490 interstate bridge that goes through Rochester.
The only wish we had to make the backdrop a bit more spectacular would be if the buildings were more lit up, they are quite dark.
