More than 30,000 people turned out at Ala Moana Beach Park this evening to mark the Fourth of July in bang-up style.

The whole area was jammed with people, some of whom arrived Friday morning and had been camped out ever since.
Police estimated the crowd at 35,000 people.
All sat under a full moon waiting for the fireworks to begin.
Boyd Baldomero of Makiki was there with a group of 50. He said he has been coming every year for 10 years. It’s a family thing, he said. We always came every year because it was safe and congenial.
His daughter, Nyssa, 4, said she loved the fireworks.
“I like the red. I like the blue. I like the green. I like the sparkle,” she said.
“It was very awesome. It was big and very awesome.”
