See El Cerrito's Almost Hometown Fireworks on YouTube

We thank Richmond Annex resident Christina Slamon for posting this video of last year's fireworks in Richmond, which painted the nighttime sky to the live accompaniment of the Oakland East Bay Symphony.

If you don't have a chance to see any fireworks, or would like to see more, we're pleased to post this YouTube video of Richmond's Independence Day fireworks from last year.

The display – held July 3 at Craneway Pavilion, 2.65 miles from the El Cerrito border – had a bonus feature: live accompaniment by the Oakland East Bay Symphony.

We'd like to thank Christina Slamon of the Richmond Annex for shooting and uploading it for anyone to enjoy anytime.
