Fireworks!

Alexandria Bay does its fireworks on July 5 to spread the festivities of the Fourth out nice and big. The explosives are shot out all around Boldt Castle out on the St. Lawrence River. Dozens of boats gather on the water at sunset, waiting like little twinkling fireflies in a field of water. Quite the spectacle.




Then, the games begin.
