Celebrate America's Independence Day at the City of Fort Lauderdale's free 4th of July Spectacular featuring Walker Hayes!

The Independence Day Celebration will feature a patriotic extravaganza in Las Olas Oceanside Park and on Fort Lauderdale Beach, highlighted by a live performance at 7:30 p.m. from country music superstar Walker Hayes, known for hit songs including "Fancy Like," "AA," and "Y'all Life."

The event will also feature additional live entertainment, a kids zone, beach games, contests, family activities, and a dazzling fireworks display. The kids zone provides nonstop energy and excitement with plenty of music, inflatable water slides, face painting, and a variety of other amusing beach games.

As the sun sets, spectators will be treated to a spectacular drone show over Fort Lauderdale Beach beginning at 8:45 p.m., featuring hundreds of illuminated drones creating patriotic images and animations in the night sky.

Immediately following the drone show, the City’s signature fireworks display will light up the shoreline at 9 p.m. This dazzling pyrotechnic finale is an annual favorite for children and adults of all ages and provides the perfect ending to a day of patriotic celebration.
