PORTLAND, Maine — Maine's largest city celebrated the Fourth of July a day late.
A colorful fireworks display was shown over Portland's Eastern Promenade Wednesday night.
The show was postponed Tuesday after the city cited rain and wet conditions.
"We got here around 4 o’clock [Tuesday], found some parking, and then got the news as we walked by," said Liz Carnell whose fiance was disappointed the fireworks were postponed. "She was a little bit frustrated just because she had really been excited for it all day."
But the show was a go Wednesday evening at 9:15 as hundreds of people returned to the Eastern Promenade to watch the display.
"This is always a big show, I know Portland spends a lot of money on this, and it’s nice to see everyone out," Margaret Hoyt, who came out to see the fireworks, said.
