The Independence Day Celebration will feature a patriotic extravaganza at Las Olas Oceanside Park and on Fort Lauderdale Beach featuring live bands, a kids zone, beach games, contests, family activities, and a dazzling fireworks display. The kids zone provides nonstop energy and excitement with plenty of music, inflatable water slides, face painting, and a variety of other amusing beach games. As the sun goes down, the celebration heats up with live music and entertainment. After the sun sets, all eyes will turn toward the sky for the City’s spectacular fireworks show on Fort Lauderdale Beach at 8:45 p.m. This dazzling pyrotechnic display is an annual favorite of children and adults of all ages!
