Although the skies were cloudy and the weather was humid, Somerville residents came out in mass to celebrate Independence Day five days early at Trum Field on Broadway on Thursday, June 26. Sponsored by the City of Somerville, the Independence Day celebration included performances by the Somerville Sunsetters, Mary Flynn Murphy School of Dance, BOVA Productions, and the USO Metropolitan New York performers. Vendors selling cotton candy, hot dogs, and ice cream continuously fed the crowd throughout the night while friends and families enjoyed the music and show. Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone was present as he prepared the audience for the fireworks display, which was proclaimed the largest fireworks display to date.
The fireworks in Somerville this year were awesome. I see a lot of different fireworks shows and this one was terrific.
