Coral Springs expands free Fourth of July celebration for America’s 250th birthday
Coral Springs is turning its July 4 celebration into a full-day event with fireworks at 8:45 p.m., free parking and a new Fun Zone for families.
Coral Springs is enlarging its free Fourth of July celebration this year, using the holiday to mark the nation’s 250th birthday and to draw more residents into a single civic gathering at Mullins Park. The city has set the celebration for Saturday, July 4, from 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., one hour earlier than in past years, with fireworks scheduled for 8:45 p.m., weather permitting.
The main stage near Field 2 will feature live entertainment from The Introverts, Should Have Been a Cowboy and the headlining tribute act Absolute Bon Jovi. City officials also are adding patriotic contests, interactive activities and inflatable attractions in a designated Fun Zone on Field 6, while artisan vendors, restrooms and a misting station will be set up on Field 7.
Admission and parking will be free. Food trucks and food vendors will be spread across the park, and adult beverages will be sold only in designated fields. Personal fireworks, outside alcohol and pets are prohibited.
Mullins Park spans 62 acres and includes basketball courts, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a sand volleyball court, picnic pavilions and multiple sports fields.
Coral Springs Drive will close in both directions beginning at 6 p.m., and traffic delays are expected after the fireworks. Officials are urging people to carpool, walk if possible or arrive early. Parking will be available at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts and the Coral Springs Gymnasium.
Parents can pick up complimentary child safety wristbands at city tents, and the wristbands will include a parent’s phone number to help staff and emergency personnel reunite separated children and parents. Coral Springs residents who want Express Lane access to the inflatable area must register at the Fun Zone check-in tent and show ID with a valid Coral Springs address. The inflatables will be powered down at 8:30 p.m. sharp.
Coral Springs is a 24-square-mile city in northwest Broward County, built out from former farmland over the last 60-plus years.
