Crowd Braves the Rain for Festivities, Fireworks

The annual Gainesville night of music, pyrotechnics and fun to start the July 4 holiday made a successful -- albeit rain-delayed -- return this past Saturday night with Fanfares & Fireworks at Flavet Field at the University of Florida.

Participants gather to watch the fireworks display during the Fanfare and Fireworks Independence day celebration at the University of Florida's Flavet Field on Saturday, July 3, 2010.
