Here are key takeaways:

  • New fireworks show: City Commissioner Joshua Simmons announced a new fireworks vendor in mid-June, saying “hopefully the comment section will be a little quiet that night” after two years of complaints. The show begins at 8:45 p.m., weather permitting.
  • Live music lineup: Performances at the main stage near Field #2 include The Introverts at 4 p.m., Should Have Been a Cowboy at 5:15 p.m. and Absolute Bon Jovi at 6:40 and 8 p.m.
  • Family activities: A kid-friendly Fun Zone with inflatables and games runs until 8:30 p.m. on Fields #4 and #6. Coral Springs residents with valid ID can sign up for free express lane access.
  • Food options: Nearly two dozen food trucks and booths will be spread across Food Truck Row and Mullins Hall, with alcoholic beverages available from the Knights of Columbus at the Dale Davis pavilion.
  • Parking and traffic: Free parking is available at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts and Coral Springs Gymnasium. Coral Springs Drive will close in both directions starting at 6 p.m., with delays expected around 9:30 p.m. after the fireworks conclude.
