That might seem like high praise, but attendees found the Bayfront Fireworks Spectacular that night offered an experience worthy of the name.
“It was awesome. It was spectacular. It was nice to be here in the park and see so many people enjoy it,” said Bello Nock. “It was great to see all of Sarasota just having a great time.”
A staple of Fourth of July events in Sarasota for more than 10 years, the show, hosted by Suncoast Charities for Children as part of its Suncoast Summer Fest, draws huge crowds to Bayfront Park each year.
Zack Altman, who attended with his fiancée Carmen Altman, was among the newcomers this year.
“It was amazing,” said Altman, who recently came to Sarasota from Wisconsin. “It was cool to be in a different environment and watch the fireworks with my fiancée."
