A Busy Day for City Parks

Posted on July 2, 2009 by Ben Welle

As we enter the Independence Day weekend, we will see streams of Americans enter their city parks to see this:

The National Mall, Washington, D.C.

And eat these:

Taste of Minnesota, Harriet Island Park, St. Paul, Minn.

Taste of Minnesota, Harriet Island Park, St. Paul, Minn., MPR

And listen to this:

River to River Festival, Battery Park, New York City (NYC Pocket)

Over a half million people regularly attend fireworks on the National Mall and city parks across the country will see people attending music festivals, parades, picnics and other events. Is the 4th of July to parks what the day after Thanksgiving is to malls?

In any case, have a good 4th of July.

    I can’t think of a better place to watch fireworks than at a park :-)

    I would like to buy a print of the photo of the fireworks on the mall of DC. Do you have them for sale?
