Fourth of July: Colorful Independence Day celebrations across the Montgomery area
It was a red, white and blue Fourth of July in the region as Independence Day was celebrated with parades, concerts, fireworks and even a carboard boat race.
In Prattville the day kicked off with a downtown parade, then it was the annual cardboard boat race at Pratt Pool. The pool is located in Pratt Park which also hosted the annual Lions Club barbecue.
The evening wrapped up with fireworks.
In Montgomery, the 49th Annual Cloverdale-Idlewild parade had walkers, wagons and pets in the merry neighborhood cavalcade.
A celebration at the Montgomery Riverfront featured patriotic music by the 151st Alabama Army National Guard Band. Fireworks over the water put an exclamation point on the day.
