Fireworks display in Astoria: TONIGHT

June 24, 2013 By Christian Murray

Astoria has a habit of celebrating the Fourth of July a little earlier than the rest of the country.

The neighborhood typically holds its annual celebration in Astoria Park a week before July 4, an event that includes a spectacular fireworks display high above the East River and the park.

This year’s event kicks off tonight—June 24—at 7:30 pm in Astoria Park. It will also feature a performance by the Queens Symphony Orchestra on the great lawn, which is near Shore Boulevard between the Hell Gate Bridge and the Astoria Park Pool.

The event is being organized by the Central Astoria Local Development Coalition.

A Brooklyn man was indicted by a Queens grand jury on charges of manslaughter, drunk driving and other crimes for a fatal collision in Astoria that killed his long-time girlfriend and mother of their young child in February.

Ray Perez, 27, of Caton Avenue in Flatbush, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on a 13-count indictment charging him with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly speeding through a stop sign in Astoria, colliding with another vehicle and slamming into two parked cars, and then driving nearly four miles away to a street in Maspeth before seeking help for his 29-year-old girlfriend Bridget Enriquez, who later succumbed to her injuries.
