Sherry and Jay Clark had both just moved to Sarasota from Connecticut a week ago, but they quickly discovered the scope of the Sarasota community on July 4, when they were among the hundreds who came to Bayfront Park for the annual fireworks show.
“We loved them. We thought they were great,” Jay Clark said. “They were beautiful, and so was just the whole atmosphere.”
Attendees gathered on chairs and picnic blankets, on boat rooftops and on the rocks at the shoreline to watch the fireworks display, which was held by Suncoast Charities for Children in partnership with Marina Jack, with fireworks by Pyrotecnico.
“It was really, really great,” said attendee Nate Kennelly. “It was a long show as well.”
“We enjoyed it so much,” said Lubabah Hasan, who said she enjoys traveling to different areas to see fireworks, having traveled all the way from Tampa to watch the show.
