Astorians flocked to Astoria Park on Thursday,
June 29, to snag a spot on the Great Lawn for the
Central Astoria Local Development Coalition’s
2017 Independence Celebration. The crowd was
huge, but it still felt like a tight-knit community
coming together for a neighborhood event, with music from
the Queens Symphony Orchestra and a gorgeous view of
the Hell Gate Bridge. Then, on the Fourth of July, all of New
York City seemed to converge on Gantry Plaza State Park in
Long Island City to watch the sky fill with fireworks from the
Macy’s show taking place along the East River, with the Empire
State Building lit up in red, white and blue in the background.
However you celebrated your Independence Day in western
Queens, you were sure to Instagram your experience! Here are
some photos of our local celebrations.
