The skies over Stuart exploded in a dazzling display of red, white and blue Friday night as the Town of Stuart, Patrick County and county departments sponsored the annual Independence Day fireworks celebration.
The event drew a massive crowd, with thousands of residents and visitors gathering at DeHart Park and nearby areas to enjoy the festivities. Families set up lawn chairs, blankets, picnics and truck tailgates well before nightfall, enjoying fellowship as anticipation built.
The tradition, which is made possible by a team of dedicated volunteers, has become a signature summer event, attracting not just locals but also visitors from neighboring counties and beyond.
