The town of New Albany, Ohio celebrates the 4th of July with fireworks and parades. Thus far we’ve been unfortunate to have rain spoil our parades; luckily in the last year when we had all-day sunshine, in 2015, I came prepared with my photography gear to capture the festive event. Apart from the local police and firemen, and the school marching band, other parade participants include various local businesses as well as non-profits and youth groups.
