The City of West Palm Beach will host the thirty-seventh annual Fourth on Flagler, South Florida’s largest waterfront Fourth of July celebration. The “One Nation, Our Celebration”-themed event will return to downtown West Palm Beach from 5 to 10 p.m. Festive activities will take place along Flagler Drive, between Banyan Boulevard and Fern Street, including music on three stages, family-friendly games and crafts, and food vendors. The evening will conclude with a spectacular 18-minute FPL Fireworks display over the Intracoastal Waterway at approximately 9:09 p.m.
The event kicks off at 6 p.m. with the singing of the National Anthem, a color guard presentation, drumline and bagpipe music, and a flag unfurling with more than 50 volunteers. Fourth on Flagler will also be the start and end point for the annual Bill Bone 5K.
Following the opening ceremony, the VZN Band will bring high energy party music to the NewDay USA Stage. Over on the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Stage, DJ Reflex will keep the party going in the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Health Specialty Center Kids’ Area. On the Palm Beach International Boat Show Stage, DJ Kid Karter will bring a country kickback with country music hits.
More than 75,000 people attend the event annually. People who prefer to celebrate at home can watch the fireworks display on television as part of a WPBF 25 Special: Fourth on Flagler Live Fireworks from 9 to 9:30 p.m.
Blankets and lawn chairs are recommended. Parking is available in the City of West Palm Beach’s public parking garages. From 4 to 10 p.m., parking at the City Center, Clematis, and Sapodilla garages will be a $5 flat rate. The closest garages to the event, Banyan and Evernia, will be $10.
