The Fort Lauderdale 4th of July Spectacular, one of the most highly attended annual events at Fort Lauderdale Beach, returns this Monday, July 4th.
Celebrate America’s Independence Day at the City of Fort Lauderdale’s free 4th of July Spectacular! The patriotic celebration will include tons of activities for everyone – Including beach games, family activities, a kids zone, inflatable water slides, live bands, hot dog and apple pie eating contests, face painting and more. The activities will be available directly on the sand of Fort Lauderdale Beach as well as at the adjacent Las Olas Oceanside Park. So if you’re not looking to step into the sand, a memorable experience is still guaranteed.
This year’s entertainment headliner … The B-52’s … Will be performing onstage on the sand 7:30 – 8:45 PM, followed directly by 23 minutes of dazzling fireworks set into the sky off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Beach.
