Fourth of July Celebration Info

The City of Alachua will hold its annual Fourth of July celebration on July 4, 2008 at the Hal Brady Recreation Complex. The event will be formatted similarly to past years. Please check back to this website as more information will be posted as it becomes available.

The City of Alachua has dubbed its celebration "The Largest Small Town Fireworks Display in America." The annual event draws 15,000 people to Alachua and has great economic impact on businesses in our area. There are dozens of activities for the kids, including a petting zoo, hit-a-thons and water slides. This year kids can also take advantage of the spray park and skateboard park located on site. For the adult audience there are several unique vendors, bingo contests, dancing groups and live musical entertainment to name a few. Without a doubt the event has something for everyone and of course the hottest fireworks around. For more details about the event, see the promotional flyer.

My family has gone to this for the past 2 years, and it really is the best around. The only down fall is the parking. We park far off and walk. Nothing in Alachua is too far of a walk.
