It would have been better if it didn’t start early. We waited to come at 5:30 because of the cold and got there 2 minutes before the finale. Not happy about that at all. You have a schedule for a reason.

Lol

Seriously! I intentionally arrived w/ a few minutes to spare because of how cold it was tonight. Didn't want to have my 2 year old out any longer than needed. Got there and the tree was lit already and the fireworks were going off. Very disappointing!

Did anybody ever pick up the drone? 😩😩😩

Thank u❗❗❗❗

Me and my children came out at 3 and stayed until fireworks it was so much fun❗

If you came at last minute you missed it all lol🤷

Why did you start the fireworks early? It said on FB tree lighting and fireworks 5.30- 6 but they started at 5.20 and we and many others missed them. People were running down State St as soon as they heard them start.

Honestly, I never head out until I hear the fireworks, but I enjoy them every year. Maybe next year I'll plan ahead. Thanks as always for the December fireworks!

Clear out the bus stops on Rt. 9 Watervliet/Latham. Kids are standing in road! The stop right ahead of the circle had about a dozen people balancing on iced over roads. A little further down a mother was body shielding her toddler while they waited for the bus...once again in the road because the stop was snowed in. Shameful!!
