Revelers across the U.S. brave

heat and heavy downpours
to celebrate Fourth of July

BOSTON (AP) — Revelers across the U.S. braved heat and
heavy rain to take part in Fourth of July activities Tuesday —
celebrating the nation’s founding with parades, fireworks
and hot dog eating contests at a time of lingering political
divisions and concerns about the country’s future.
In Boston, people dodged raindrops to nab a coveted
space on the grassy oval in front of the Hatch Shell
along the Charles River ahead of the traditional Boston
Pops Fireworks Spectacular. Hundreds of thousands of
partygoers typically line both sides of the river for the
fireworks spectacular that follows a concert.
At another longstanding celebration, fans of competitive
eating crowded to watch Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July
hot dog eating contest held in the Coney Island section
of New York City.
