Thousands pack downtown Tampa to celebrate Fourth of July
Thousands gathered in downtown Tampa to celebrate the Fourth of July.
TAMPA, Fla. - After not being able to celebrate the Fourth of July last year, thousands of people packed downtown Tampa for the second "Boom by the Bay" celebration.
Despite a nearly hour-long delay in the fireworks finale due to safety concerns, most people were just happy to be able to spend a holiday with their friends and family.
I love it, because the grownups down to the children, we are all having a ball, it’s fantastic," said one Tampa resident.
