Independence Day celebrations kicked off at Arms Park in Manchester Friday night. But the heat wave didn't stop hundreds from gathering to watch the firework show.
On July 4, the U.S. is celebrating the 250th anniversary of independence, with an air show, a "very long" Trump speech and "the largest fireworks in history" and the first "Patriotic Games" in the U.S. in August, which are already compared to the "Hungry Games" antitopia.
