What appeared like several thousand people came out for Powder Springs' 17th annual Independence Day Celebration on Wednesday.

Light rain did put a damper on things in the beginning. But the storm moved on by early evening, clearing things up for food, live music, children's activities and, of course, fireworks.

You can see a video of this year's fireworks show here, and a video from last year's celebration here.

Whether you attended the event or stayed at home, we want to see how you celebrated the country's independence. Submit your own photos or videos to michael.stone@patch.com for publication.
