Fireworks Light Up Babylon's Sky on Fourth of July

Beautiful scenes on the night sky celebrate our nation's independence.

The night's sky was alive with fireworks and other loud noises celebrating our country's freedom on Independence Day.

With the holiday falling on a Thursday this year and many left with a four-day weekend, celebrations and firework displays went on for many hours around the area.

Locals flooded onto the Babylon Village Docks during the evening to get a great view of fireworks being shot from the area, Fire Island, West Islip and the Great South Bay.
