MIAMI BEACH, Fla. \u2014 Thousands gathered at Bayfront Park on Saturday to celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday during the Freedom 250 celebration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of children out here today and I think that\u2019s so fun,\u201d attendee Hannah Murders said.<\/p>\n
The park was filled with a sea of red, white and blue as families came together for the Fourth of July festivities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere I\u2019m from, we don\u2019t have many events like this,\u201d Murders said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the 250th so of course we had to come out and show off,\u201d one mom said.<\/p>\n
The event was designed to celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday. Instead of cake and candles, the celebration featured pride and unity, including a parade with people from different nations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing because we\u2019re able to bond and just have a good time,\u201d Franklin Espinosa said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to enjoy this night for all that it is worth,\u201d Harold Sevilla said.<\/p>\n
Sevilla was one of the thousands who gathered to celebrate the Fourth of July together.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m grateful that I live in a country where I can have the chance to have the freedom of expression, the freedom of choice, the freedom of the pursuit of happiness. And I\u2019m grateful for that,\u201d Sevilla said.<\/p>\n
The Freedom 250 celebration also included concerts and a drone show, with fireworks planned later in the night for families to enjoy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the feeling that you get after the fireworks show or even during it. Or even the excitement or rush that your body gets just of being proud of where you\u2019re from,\u201d Andrew Galloway said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen this is all over, I just want to remember the great time that I have,\u201d Sevilla said.<\/p>\n
