The 2026 Fourth of July celebrations have passed. As of September 29, 2026, local cities have not posted a complete 2027 schedule. The towns below have hosted parades, festivals, or fireworks, but next year's dates, times, and locations need to come from new city announcements.
Use this guide to choose a likely area, then return to the linked organizers when summer calendars are published. Fireworks can be postponed for weather; a final-day check is part of the plan.

Quick list
Where to watch for the next Fourth
- Vero Beach and Sebastian for a parade plus evening fireworks
- Fort Pierce for a downtown waterfront celebration

- Stuart for downtown and waterfront programming
Vero Beach and Sebastian
In 2026, Vero Beach scheduled a morning parade and evening fireworks at Riverside Park, while Sebastian listed a waterfront Freedom Fest parade and fireworks at Riverview Park. These are useful examples of each city's format, not confirmed 2027 schedules. Check each city calendar for the next edition.
Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie
Fort Pierce has held Stars Over St. Lucie around Marina Square. Port St. Lucie has hosted Freedomfest at the MIDFLORIDA Event Center. Both can draw large crowds; check the new event pages for parking, prohibited items, and weather updates before you go.
Local tip
Use the article for evergreen ideas and the newsletter for what is happening right now.
That combination gives you the best shot at finding something that fits the season, your schedule, and what is actually open or active this week.
Stuart
Stuart's downtown waterfront has hosted July 4 activities and fireworks. The city's event page is the place to confirm whether that format returns next year, along with any road closures or viewing rules.
A practical fireworks plan
Pick one city rather than trying to cross the region between events. Arrive before sunset, carry water, and choose a legal public viewing area. For young children or noise-sensitive visitors, a spot farther from the launch area may work better. Check the organizer's weather update on the day.
