Where to watch July 4th fireworks in South Florida

If you’re hoping to cap off the Fourth of July by scoping out a fireworks show, it will be a little more difficult this year.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, most South Florida cities have canceled their annual fireworks festivities as COVID-19 cases continue to rise throughout the state. In addition to the spread, city budgets have also hammered by the pandemic.

Still, you’re not completely out of luck if you’re looking for a show.

Here’s a guide of Fourth of July fireworks shows in South Florida. For more information on individual events, please visit the city websites.
