Fireworks Saturday Night Over South Street Seaport/Brooklyn

Those spectacular fireworks Saturday night were in celebration of Children's Day at South Street Seaport.

The barges were in the river between the Seaport and Brooklyn Heights and it seemed to us that it was the longest fireworks display in some time.

During the afternoon, kids sang along with Gordon from Sesame Street and enjoyed free entertainment. There were also educational activities at the Seaport Museum, and pirate sails aboard the schooner Pioneer. In spite of the rain, it all ended well with the "Spectacular Target Fireworks" accompanied by the Brooklyn Philharmonic.
