Fireworks Light Up Washington Sky for America's 250th Anniversary
A spectacular fireworks display over the National Mall marked the 250th anniversary of US independence, following storms that caused temporary evacuations and delays.
A dazzling fireworks display illuminated the night sky over Washington, D.C., on Saturday evening as the United States celebrated the 250th anniversary of its independence. Thousands of people gathered along the National Mall to witness the show, which highlighted some of the nation's most iconic landmarks.
The festivities faced a brief setback—earlier storms forced a temporary evacuation of the area and disrupted celebrations in parts of the East Coast. However, the capital's annual Fourth of July fireworks went ahead later in the evening, lighting up the sky above the National Mall and marking the milestone anniversary with a colorful display.
