Join us Saturday, July 4, as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary and 100 Years of Venice with the City of Venice's annual Fourth of July Fireworks display!
The professional display will be fired by Zambelli Fireworks from the South Jetty beginning around 9 p.m., following a test shot between 8:30 and 8:45 p.m. The show will be visible from many beachside parks and public viewing areas along the shoreline.*
Boaters: Plan ahead! The Venice Inlet will close to vessel traffic around 8:30 p.m. and remain closed until approximately 30 minutes after the finale. Be sure to check the tide schedule before heading out on the water.
Sea turtle nesting season is in full swing. As part of the Venice Beach Shore Protection Project, Mote Marine Laboratory is relocating nests within the project area under state authorization. Please continue to watch for and avoid all marked sea turtle nests when choosing your viewing spot. Leave plenty of space around marked nesting areas, and remember to fill in any holes and pack out everything you bring before leaving the beach. Some public viewing areas may also be impacted by beach renourishment equipment and staging areas.
Help keep our beaches beautiful. Pack in, pack out by taking everything you bring with you, including trash, recycling, broken tents or chairs, and whatever else you toted out to the beach.
A reminder about personal fireworks: The City burn ban issued in April remains in effect. While Florida law generally allows certain personal fireworks on Independence Day, an active burn ban supersedes that allowance, making personal fireworks illegal. Leave the pyrotechnics to the professionals and enjoy a safe, spectacular show with us or use an alternative like glowsticks or colored bubbles.
We can't wait to celebrate this historic Independence Day with our community!
*The South Jetty remains closed to the public and will only be accessed by the Zambelli Fireworks professionals and Venice FL Fire Rescue personnel. Fireworks visibility may vary by location and is dependent on weather, wind, and cloud conditions.
