4TH OF JULY SPECTACULAR

Celebrate America’s Independence Day at the City of Fort Lauderdale’s 4th of July Spectacular! Fort Lauderdale was recently named in USA Today’s “10 Best: Fourth of July Fireworks Around the USA.” The Independence Day Celebration will feature a patriotic extravaganza with a kids zone, live music, and a dazzling fireworks display. The 4th of July Spectacular takes place on Saturday, July 4 from 12:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Fort Lauderdale Beach at A1A and Las Olas Boulevard.

The PNC Bank Kids Zone will provide non-stop energy and excitement along with plenty of music and comic relief from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Highlights will include DJ, music, face painting, beach games and contests. Make sure to bring your appetite so you can compete in an old-fashioned hot dog eating contest. And if that doesn’t fill you up, top it off by participating in a July 4th apple pie eating contest! 

As the sun goes down, the celebration heats up with live music and entertainment from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Grace and the Victory Riders will treat beachgoers with sounds of folk, soul, and reggae beginning at 4:30 p.m. Then at 6:15 p.m., Turnstiles present the “Ultimate Tribute to the Music of Billy Joel.”

Finally, as the sun goes down watch the sky light up with the City’s fireworks show at 9 p.m. This dazzling pyrotechnic display is simulcast with music on 101.5 LITE FM and is an annual favorite for all!
