The celebration started one day before the official date in South Burlington, more specificly on Lake Champlain. The main attraction was the Fireworks by 09:45 p.m .
Almost all the people from Burlington and surrounding towns were gathered at the same place to apprecciate the fireworks spetacular, from teenage groups to entire families, all hanging out together, having a picnic, taking a sun bath and participating in some other attractions like live music, Sambatucada (group of brazilian Samba).
Unfortunately, I just arrived at Lake Champlain at the time to see the fireworks, I couldn't spend the entire day there. The spectacular took about 30 minutes and everyone stopped to watch it. I could notice specially teenagers in different and extravagant clothes though a couple of them were really awesome and edgy.
On the whole, This was my very first strong contact to american celebrations and traditions.
In a scale from 1 to 10, It'll certainly reach a 10!
