WESTPORT — Thursday night skies over Compo Beach were full of sound and fury — signifying the town’s annual fireworks salute to the Independence Day holiday.

The pyrotechnical display, designed by Grucci, the masters of fireworks, capped an hours-long beach party that, as usual, attracted a big crowd of celebrants. The annual fireworks show benefited the Westport Police Athletic League.
