Spend July 4th on the Emerald Coast

Have plans for the 4th of July? Unless you are spending it with us, you should cancel those plans and spend the holiday on the Emerald Coast.  Need some reasons why?

Check this out: on July 4, 2017, beginning at 4pm, there will be live music, entertainment, a wide variety of food, lots of merchandise to purchase from local vendors, fun kids activities, and much more! Fireworks then start to launch off near the beach promptly at 8:15 p.m. When the show is complete the fun doesn’t stop just yet!

A live performance from “Continuum,” will be performing next. Hang out afterwards and enjoy some of the night life perks the Emerald Coast has to offer. But, wait…what if you can’t make the fireworks on the 4th? Never fear! Check this out: on July 5th 2017,  Fireworks From Okaloosa Fishing Pier  will be hosting another show! Or if you can make both then you get double the show, which means double the fireworks!

1. The beach: At any given time of day, the beach is a yes in our book! The sugary white sand is always filled with hidden treasures to search for.  Plus, you have the best seat in the house for the firework show later that evening. (Fireworks from the Okaloosa Fishing Pier)
2. Shopping: There are so many shops to explore walking along the boardwalk. You can find the perfect souvenir to remember your trip by. Or since it’s a holiday weekend, get something extra special to use during the nights festivities, like sparklers!
