Buffalo Celebrates July 4th With Fireworks, Family Fun at Canalside [PICTURES]

Ah, the Fourth of July -- a holiday to celebrate our nation's independence through BBQs, parties with families and friends (preferably on a beach or by a pool) and blowing things up.

Our digital team spent the evening hanging out at Canalside for a Fourth of July celebration featuring family activities, live music and, of course, fireworks. Check out photos from the event below!
