Boom by the Bay is Tampa’s spectacular 4th of July celebration, officially returning to Julian B Lane Riverfront Park (1001 N Boulevard). This year’s festivities will feature the city’s first-ever apple pie throwdown (we’re all winners here).
The event is entirely family-friendly, with live entertainment throughout the day at the waterfront park. The park is also dog-friendly, though pet owners should note that fireworks may disturb some dogs. The fireworks display begins at dusk, illuminating Tampa’s beautiful waterfront. Festivities start at 4pm and run until 10pm. Food and drinks will be available from local food trucks and vendors. Julian B Lane is also close to major hubs like Armature Works, offering more food options.
