Tampa Welcomes Back Boom by the Bay with Stunning Fireworks Over the Waterfront

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.

We highly recommend using ride-share services or HART buses to reach the event. For those driving, all City garages, street parking, and private lot options will be available. City of Tampa parking garages (including Fort Brooke garage) will cost $10 for the day. Attendees can also park in Ybor City and take the TECO Streetcar to downtown.

A Sensory Relief Zone will be located near the south entrance of the park (Cypress Street) by the pavilions. Individuals can also download the Lazarillo App for verbal wayfinding directions at Julian B Lane Riverfront Park.
