Our Favorite Photos and Video of 2016 Newport Independence Day Fireworks Display

The 2016 Independence Day weekend is now in the history books and it would be hard to ask for, predict and/or come across such a beautiful and busy weekend. Thank you Mother Earth for blessing us with great weather on what’s sure to be the busiest weekend of the year.

The crazy weekend all wrapped up tonight with one heck of a fireworks display over Newport Harbor, here are our favorite social media videos and photos of the fireworks tonight!
