4th on Flagler — West Palm Beach Waterfront (Great Lawn)
High crowd · Arrive by 6:00 PM · waterfront · Free
South Florida's largest free July 4 celebration — the 38th Annual '4th on Flagler' (5–10 PM), themed 'One Nation, Our Celebration,' with an 18-minute FPL fireworks show by Pyrotecnico over the Intracoastal at exactly 9:09 PM. View from the Great Lawn at 100 N. Clematis St. Arrive by 6 PM; park in the City Center, Clematis, or Sapodilla garages (~$5 flat) — Banyan/Evernia are closest at $5–10. Show type: fireworks. Note: Parking garages ~$5–10.
Palm Beach Lake Trail (dual-show vantage across the Intracoastal)
Medium crowd · waterfront · Free
On the Palm Beach island side, the lakeside Lake Trail along the Intracoastal seawall faces directly across the water to the West Palm Beach 4th on Flagler fireworks at 9:09 PM — the same vantage the town promotes for its NYE show. Far calmer than the West Palm crowds. Limited street parking near the north Lake Trail access off Royal Palm Way; bike or walk in. Classic dual-view: the WPB show across the water with the island at your back. Show type: fireworks.
Midtown Beach / Ocean Boulevard, Town of Palm Beach
Medium crowd · Arrive by 8:30 PM · waterfront · Free
The island's Atlantic-facing public beach near Worth Avenue along S. Ocean Blvd (A1A). The Town of Palm Beach does not reliably stage its own large July 4 launch — best as an ocean-sky/ambiance spot, then cross the island to the Lake Trail for the West Palm show. Metered/permit street parking fills early; arrive before 8:30 PM. Confirm any Town of Palm Beach show closer to the date. Show type: unconfirmed.
