Orlando’s Fourth of July celebration is bringing birthday vibes this year.

The 48th Annual Fireworks at the Fountain lights up Lake Eola Park on Friday, July 4, with a full afternoon and evening of live music, food trucks, a kid zone packed with bubbles, balloon animals, and face painting, and a fireworks show that’ll give you plenty of content for your obligatory July 4th Instagram post.

It also kicks off a countdown to Orlando’s 150th birthday on July 31 (which, fun fact, is also Harry Potter’s birthday).

Event Schedule:
4–7:30 p.m. – Festivities and live entertainment
8 p.m.Midnight Mayhem Band at the Lake Eola Amphitheater
9:10 p.m. – Fireworks finale over the downtown skyline

Snap a pic at the 150th birthday photo booth, grab something tasty from a local vendor, and get there early to snag a good spot — the lawn fills up fast.

Florida weather is unpredictable. Bring an umbrella for sun or sprinkles and follow the City’s social channels for any last-minute updates.

Where: Lake Eola Park, 195 N Rosalind Ave
When: Friday, July 4 | 4–10 p.m.
Fireworks: 9:10 p.m.

Free, festive, and full of Orlando love.
