Celebrate America’s Independence Day at the City of Fort Lauderdale’s free 4th of July Spectacular, a day-long patriotic extravaganza held at Las Olas Oceanside Park and on Fort Lauderdale Beach. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, families can enjoy live music, beach games, and a dedicated kids' zone featuring inflatable water slides and face painting.
The celebration offers an array of family activities and contests against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, creating the perfect summer holiday atmosphere. As the sun sets, all eyes turn to the sky for a dazzling fireworks display at 8:45 p.m., an annual favorite that illuminates the coastline in a brilliant show of light and color.
