Islamorada will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with a patriotic celebration at Founders Park on July 4.
Presented by the Village of Islamorada and Upper Keys Rotary Club, the festivities will run from 6 to 10 p.m. and will include diverse food options, family-fun activities and a fireworks display that’ll illuminate the night sky.
There will also be plenty of red, white and blue on display with the Patriotic People and Puppy parade at the amphitheater. The best-dressed can enter a costume contest, which is set to take place at 7:30 p.m.
Food trucks will be positioned on the park’s great lawn. Thirst-quenching drinks, from beer and water to rum punch and soda, will be available for purchase.
With live entertainment also comes face painting and inflatable activities.
Capping off the festivities will be a fireworks display sponsored by the Key West International Airport. The display will begin shortly after sunset.
Attendance is free, but parking on the grounds will be for a $10 donation. Festival goers are asked not to bring coolers or glass containers. And no personal fireworks will be allowed in the park.
