By Robert S Weinroth

We’re just a week away from the nation’s 242nd birthday celebration. To celebrate, the City of Boca Raton will, again, host the annual Fabulous Fourth event from 6:30PM – 9:30PM on July 4th  at the Countess de Hoernle Park at 1000 Spanish River Blvd Boca Raton FL 33431.

The family friendly event is FREE and open to the public.

Activities will begin at  6PM and feature a 95 foot Super Slide, a 50 foot Double Tree Olympics Obstacle Course and Mind Bender Spinner Swings.

Families and children are invited to enjoy an interactive juggling ring, free face painting and balloon twisting as well as giant kids crafts and photo ops.

There will be an abundance of food trucks serving Tucker Duke’s burgers, hot dogs and tater tots, fried Oreos, cotton candy and more!

Complimentary bottled water is also available to attendees, generously sponsored by the event’s presenting sponsor, the Boca Raton Airport Authority.

At 6:30PM the All-Star Band will take the stage, playing classic rock and roll tunes. This year, a satellite stage will host a DJ spinning today’s hits and exciting dance-offs and games for the kids.

The highlight of the evening will come at 9PM when the firework show will begin.

Plenty of free parking will be available at several nearby public parking lots including Boca Corporate Center and the City of Boca Raton Public Library. A complimentary shuttle service will begin at 5:30PM and run continuously until 10:15PM. Arrive early to avoid shuttle lines!

The Fabulous Fourth Celebration is presented by the City of Boca Raton, and sponsored by the Boca Raton Airport Authority, the Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District and WPBF-TV.
