All My Sons of Fort Lauderdale would like to wish everyone a fun filled safe and happy 4th of July.
The 4th of July is one of the most-anticipated holidays of the summer, with food, parades, and of course, fireworks! It was on this date in 1776, that the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, effectively cutting the colonies’ ties to Great Britain. For years, the 4th of July holiday was observed unofficially; it wasn’t until 1941 that Congress declared it a legal holiday. I know I have been celebrating the 4th of July for as long as I can remember.
Picnics and barbeques bring the family together and with a menu of watermelon, corn on the cob, hamburgers or hot dogs, apple pie and ice cream you have the recipe for success.
I don’t know how you plan to enjoy this great holiday, however I would like to point out the way I celebrate America’s birthday. Like I said, it’s about spending time with family, having fun, eating great American food, the music, and of course the parades and Fireworks.
The City of Fort Lauderdale invites residents and visitors to celebrate America’s Independence by attending a free celebration on Fort Lauderdale Beach from 1:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, July 4, 2008.
The festivities will kick off at 1:00 p.m., at Southeast 5th Street and A1A, where a DJ will host contests and games for children of all ages, including a water balloon toss and hoola-hoop contest.
The celebration will continue with a twilight concert featuring Storm Riders at 4:30 p.m. and The Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m., on a stage at Southeast 5th Street and A1A.
When the sun goes down, watch the sky light up as the City of Fort Lauderdale presents its annual fireworks show at 9:00 p.m. The show will take place off of A1A and Las Olas Boulevard. Don’t miss this premier pyrotechnic event!
