Fort Lauderdale 4th of July Spectacular

The city’s beachfront Independence Day party ends with a drone show and a fireworks display over the Atlantic off Fort Lauderdale Beach. Where to watch: From the water: the show lights the shoreline off the central beach, so boats watch from the ocean side, standing well off the launch area; no published anchorage or Coast Guard zone was found, so expect marine police to set a keep-out area on the night. Ashore: Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas Oceanside Park.
