4th Of July Fireworks 2021 In Pinecrest

PINECREST, FL — Coronavirus cases continue to drop across the country while the number of those who are fully vaccinated continues to rise, which means there is even more reason to celebrate this Independence Day. July 4 is almost here, so it's time to find out what Fourth of July fireworks and festivities are going on near you.

Of course, not all events are returning this year. One of the biggest events in Miami-Dade County, America’s Birthday Bash at Bayfront Park, won’t be held this year because of pandemic-related safety concerns, the Miami Herald reported. Instead, a smaller event will take place at Jose Marti Park.

Coral Gables is also skipping its A Gables Fourth celebration again this year, reports said. And Key Biscayne and Palmetto Bay have cancelled their fireworks shows, as well.

Still, there are other ways to celebrate the Fourth of July. We have all the fireworks shows, parades and festivals happening in and around Pinecrest so you can start planning now.
