Event Navigation
If you just can’t wait for July 4th, join the thousands of people who come from near and far to celebrate our Independence, a little ahead of everyone else in America, on Independence Eve! Riverfront Park, on Water Street in downtown Apalachicola, is the place to be! We’re excited to announce that this year’s featured entertainment will be the Bo Spring Band with Southern Flood as the opening act.
July 3, 2018 will mark our 7th annual celebration of an event that has grown and gotten better year after year. The community will come together for a fantastic event that culminates in a stunning fireworks display over the Apalachicola River. Enjoy great food, beverages, a parade, free ice cream, veteran’s tribute, and more. This event is the winner of the 2015 Florida Main Street Honor Award for Outstanding Special Event. We hope you’ll celebrate with us on July 3!
