Early 4th of July parades, fireworks, and celebrations were happening around the East Bay Monday and as one Danville resident described it, 'All the townspeople come out.'
"I came to bring my grandkids, they haven't had this in a while and my sister who has now passed away, this is something she really loved to do," said Teresa Griffin who works in Richmond."Yes it's cold, we should have brought more blankets," said Griffin with a laugh.
But even the cold couldn't keep the thousands here at Marina Bay Park from celebrating our great nation with fireworks, friends and family. "We have a great country and the fact that we can celebrate, this is amazing. I guess just seeing people feel proud of their country and just like being a way to be with friends and family and give us a break from all the chaos," said London Wolfe of Richmond.
