Miramar’s Independence Day celebration will be extra special this year as the city recognizes the 250th anniversary of the U.S.

The free yearly event features a fireworks display and food trucks. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. and close at 8:30 in preparation for the fireworks show at 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 4, at Miramar Regional Park.

You can also discover home-based businesses in the city’s village dedicated to their work and enter to win giveaways.

The kids will have their own zone with games and the crowd can enjoy a DJ dance party, all followed by what the city is calling “one of the best firework shows in Florida.”

Miramar is marking the 250th anniversary of the country with the event, placing Congress’ official America250 logo on the flyer.

The America250 campaign highlights events and block parties across the country while inspiring pride in the nation’s history.

“America250 will foster shared experiences that spark imagination, showcase the rich tapestry of our American stories, inspire service in our communities, honor the enduring strength, and celebrate the resilience of the United States of America,” the site reads.

The campaign aims to engage every American in the celebration. Miramar’s event is not featured on the official map along with other South Florida celebrations, but some celebrations in Hialeah and Miami are marked by the website.

Register for Miramar’s Independence Day celebration and purchase parking for $10 on Eventbrite.
