White Plains Independence Day Celebration

The White Plains Recreation and Parks Department held its annual Independence Day Celebration, held at the White Plains High School on Thursday evening. The celebration was filled with music, food, children’s entertainment and rides, and of course—the spectacular fireworks display.

 “It’s really a great night and it’s an example of what goes on here in White Plains every year”, said White Plains Commissioner of Recreation and Parks Albert Moroni.  

Entertainment on the main stage featured music by Wade Preston’s Billy Joel Tribute Group, whose set list included the inimitable Root Beer Rag which really got the crowd moving. 

Entertainment for the kids featured Annie and the Natural Wonder Band, Lisa and Company, Animal Embassy, Dinosaurs Rock, Magical Memories, Miz Liz Variety Show, and Macaroni the Clown.  Also for the kids were inflatable rides provided by Inflatable Party Adventures .

Prior to the fireworks Moroni welcomed the crowd of thousands, and the City of White Plains Public Safety Jewish War Veterans Post #191 offered the traditional presentation of the flag as Councilman Dennis J. Power sang the National Anthem. Mayor Thomas Roach addressed the crowd, thanked the sponsors and counted down to the start of the fireworks.

Provided by International Fireworks, the fireworks were a fantastic display of precisely timed pyrotechnics and a visual celebration of America’s birth of independence.  

The Independence Day Celebration was sponsored by Dunkin Donuts, Green Mountain Energy Company, Ben & Jerry’s, David Lerner Associates, Inc., and Cheeburger Cheeburger.

If there were so many food-based sponsors, I would love to know why there was only one truck serving anything close to real food (i.e. not ice cream or popcorn), and an incredibly long line to get such. Many people were disgusted at the 1-hour-plus wait to get a mere hot dog. With thousands of people on hand, did anyone think to invite more food vendors-- especially with national food sponsors hosting? Seriously.
