FIREWORKS OVER THE MATANZAS
✨ 6 p.m. Sunday, July 4 — The All-Star Orchestra will perform in The Plaza de la Constitución from 6:00pm until 8:00pm, serving up Big Band and popular tunes with a patriotic flare.
💥 9:30 p.m. Sunday, July 4 — Fireworks will reach high over Matanzas Bay starting at 9:30pm. The 20-minute display is tightly choreographed to a stirring soundtrack of great popular and patriotic music delivered over an extensive sound system transforming the entire Bayfront between the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and the Bridge of Lions into a theatre of sight and sound.
With satellite parking and shuttle service not available this year, there will be limited parking throughout the downtown area. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early and use the Historic Downtown Parking Facility and parking lots throughout the downtown area. With multitudes of pedestrians and increased bicycle traffic, those in vehicles are asked to take extra precaution and to please be patient.
