The annual fireworks spectacle over the Coronado Golf Course marked the end of 4th of July celebrations in town.
Members of the Buckley family, visiting Coronado from the Bay Area, were among families partaking in 4th of July festivities in Coronado this year.
Jana Buckley said her husband, Ryan C.F. Buckley, helped set up the firework display on Friday and Saturday.
Ryan, a special effects supervisor who has worked with the TV series “Euphoria,” said he has helped his friend with the fireworks for more than half a decade.
Jana and Ryan, alongside their children Bobby and Maya, relaxed under the night sky to enjoy the colorful spectacle.
