Thousands gathered at JF Gregory Park Saturday night for Richmond Hill's annual Independence Day celebration.

The Swingin' Medallions was the headline musical group and as you'll see from the video and photos the audience had quite the good time. 

Away from the bandshell, kids kept cool on water slide inflatables and people of all ages took in the many food and craft vendors as well as a classic car show and carnival rides.

The night ended with a spectacular fireworks show.
