Skippers and Vikings enjoy ‘love affair’ with the West

Galway opted to do it in American style last night with a spectacular late night fireworks display across Galway Bay to celebrate Independence Day.

The display took place just off Mutton Island and lit up most of the city with crowds packing Salthill and Grattan Rd all the way back to the docks.

Sponsored by the US embassy, amongst others, it capped off an evening celebrating all things American, including an Independence Day parade.
