Orlando might not be a historically patriotic city, but it certainly pulls out the red, white and blue for the Fourth of July. If you’re spending this holiday here for the first time, you will not find yourself lacking for things to do. The city of Orlando has more events than any one person could possibly attend.
Anyone on the hunt for Orlando events just right for celebrating the Fourth of July will find these celebrations are all worth considering:
Celebration at the Lakefront – This all-day event takes place from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in nearby St. Cloud. This event includes bands, patriotic songs, contests, fireworks, arts and crafts, food, games and more. It’s been a St. Cloud tradition since the 1930s, so expect a fun time.
Fireworks at the Fountain – Lake Eola Park has its own Fourth of July event worth checking out. This celebration takes place from 4 to 10 p.m. with fireworks going off shortly after 9. Expect to find lots of food, games and live entertainment in addition to the fireworks.
Old Fashioned Fourth of July Parade and Celebration – Mount Dora plays host to this celebration in Donnelly Park. This town that’s famous for antiques is also known for rolling out all the stops on the Fourth of July. Expect fireworks, food and live entertainment to light up the night.
Flashback 4th of July – If you’ve been dying to check out the town of Celebration, the fourth is the time to go. This Disney master-planned community plays host to a musical event that starts around 5 and wraps up at 11. Expect to hear some incredible tunes from the past and to see breathtaking fireworks over Disney later in the evening.
Red, White and Zoo – If you don’t mind driving a short distance, the Central Florida Zoo is a great place to be on the 4th. Although it might not offer the wow factor of Disney Fireworks, this celebration is one worth taking in. The zoo’s events during the Fourth of July include plenty of live music, face painting, crafts, games, food and the opportunity to walk on the “wild side.”
Disney Fireworks – Now, if you want to take in the fun of Orlando events and do so from the comfort of your own home, plenty of apartments offer the perfect viewing spot for Disney fireworks. This is a nightly tradition that gets turned up a notch on the Fourth of July.
From fireworks and festivals to old fashion parades, you’ll find plenty of things to do in Orlando on the 4th of July. Whether you choose to leave your Orlando apartment or want to catch the “show” from home, this city hops in grand red, white and blue style.
