Michigan City Fireworks
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (WNDU) – Today 16 News Now spent time checking on Fourth of July celebrations all across Michiana.
Near the beach in Michigan City people from all walks of life came together to celebrate the nation’s birthday.
Ci Claudia Almaraz, a two-time Miss Teen Indiana Latina, has strong feelings about the importance of Independence Day.
“As Latino, as a Mexican I love that Americans celebrate our culture, so now it is our turn to give it back to them and celebrate the USA. My dad migrated here 21 years ago so we’re here celebrating why the main reason my dad made that sacrifice and to just celebrate and spend time with the family, have a cookout, have some carne asada, and just enjoy the time and the fireworks later on tonight,” said Almaraz.
Tomorrow Michigan City will be hosting a firework fundraising party for the non-profit organization, ‘Save the Dunes’.
The event takes place at the Sunset Grill Rooftop Cantina from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The costs for adults to attend are $30 while children 12 and up is $20.
