Independence Day
Independence Day is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) holidays here in America. It’s the day that we all celebrate our freedom and enjoy a few days of summertime worry-free bliss. Since we want you all to have a lot of family fun this year, we’ve put together this calendar of events for you to enjoy! Cape Coral
Fort Myers Beach Parade This event is fun for the whole family! The parade will run along Estero Boulevard between School Street and the Time Square area from 10–11 a.m. Make sure to get to the parade spot by 9:30 a.m. (the Matanzas bridge will be closed from 9:30 a.m. to noon!).
Cape Coral’s Red, White, and Boom! celebration takes place on the Fourth in Cape Coral. More than 30,000 people are expected to show up this year. The event takes place on the evening of the Fourth and begins at 5 p.m. Make sure to get to the Cape Coral Parkway before 5 p.m., since the streets will be blocked off for safety reasons (and you’ll want to get a good seat!).
Fort Myers Beach Fireworks If you’re in the beach area for the parade, you may want to stick around for the evening fireworks on the Fourth. The fireworks happen from 8:45– 10 p.m. The Matanzas Pass Bridge will be closed from 9:30–11 p.m. to oncoming traffic only (so you can still get off the island).
Fort Myers
The Downtown Fort Myers Freedom Fest happens on the evening of the Fourth, from 4–10 p.m. The Freedom Fest will take place in the River District, and it will include a live band, a bouncy castle for the kids, and a lot of other fun things for the whole family to enjoy. The evening will end with a lot of fireworks!
Naples On the Naples Pier West, you will be able to see a display of fireworks starting at 9 p.m. You can also book a boat tour to see the show from the water!
Fort Myers Miracle Independence Weekend Fireworks This happens on the evening of July 3, with post-game fireworks. Come and enjoy a baseball game (the Miracles versus the St. Lucie Mets) during the day, and cap the evening off with a bang.
Sanibel Sanibel is in the Fourth of July spirit, with activities happening all day long! You can start the day with a hearty pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. and spend the entire day immersed in red, white, and blue festivities, including a parade, a road rally, sidewalk sale specials, and (of course!) fireworks, starting at 9 p.m.
