Alton Fireworks 2016

This morning, Alton Mayor Brant Walker said that the city was doing "everything it could" to ensure that the annual fireworks display would go as planned.

Fortunately for him, the city and the thousands of people who file into the various viewing spots downtown, the fireworks display carried on as scheduled at 9:30 p.m. Sunday evening at the Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater.
