People have begun to make their way to Pittsburgh on Friday for the city's Fourth of July festivities. The city's holiday celebration is taking place on the North Shore and Mount Washington this year instead of Point State Park, which is undergoing a construction project.

Fireworks will be underway soon as Pittsburghers descend on the North Shore for the city's annual Independence Day celebration. Watch LIVE VIDEO of the fireworks in the video player above (Starting at approximately 9:35 p.m.)
