The Coney Island Friday Night Fireworks series kicked off last night with a fun pre-Fourth of July display. The crowd was a little smaller than usual thanks, no doubt, to the cool, breezy and cloudy weather. We’re always surprised by how long and how nice the displays presented, in part, by Astroland are. We noted that, this year, Taconic Investments–one of the big Coney Island developers–is a sponsor. The fireworks will take place every Friday night between now and Labor Day, and we must say that they’re a fun way to end a summer Friday.
