24th Street Park & Boardwalk
High crowd · park · Free
The Tidewater Winds Concert Band plays 24th Street Park from 7:30-9:30 p.m. directly under the barge — claim a beach blanket spot by early evening; small coolers, blankets and outside food are allowed but glass containers, umbrellas, pets and bicycles are prohibited. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
31st Street / Neptune's Park
Medium crowd · park · Free
Park at the 25th Street municipal garage and walk the boardwalk north — Neptune's Park has a stage and fewer hardcore fireworks campers than 24th Street, and you still get a clean sightline up the beach to the barge. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Mount Trashmore Park
Medium crowd · Arrive by 4:00 PM · park · Free
VB Parks & Rec runs its own free July 4th Celebration here starting at 5 p.m. with its own 9:30 p.m. fireworks — $20 cash-only parking opens at 2 p.m. and Edwin Drive between Independence and South Boulevard closes when lots fill, so arrive before 4 p.m. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
