We are delighted to bring you our 6th annual "Independence Day Extravaganza" next week. Once again, Palmetto Bay's Village Hall, 9705 E. Hibiscus St., will be the center of a booming celebration of America's birthday with rides, food, music and the grand finale, a spectacular fireworks display.
We'd like to take a moment to inform you of some details as we prepare for the big boom:
Activities:
There will be plenty of fun activities in the hours leading up to the fireworks show, so be sure to come out early at 5:30 pm to get a good viewing spot and enjoy food/beverage (ID required for alcohol purchase) served by several different food vendors. There will also be face painting, stilt walkers, live bands, an artist/craft area, LED robots and a free kid's fun zone with inflatables and amusement rides—something for everyone in the family.
Parking and Road Closures :
Free satellite parking with shuttle service will be available to and from the event from 5:30 pm - 11 pm at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary St. Richard Catholic School, 18455 Franjo Road. Free, (limited) parking will also be available at Palmetto Bay Park. Cash parking ($15) will be available at Palmetto Station Apartments (SW180th St. entrance only - no elevator service available). Public transportation, Uber and Lyft are encouraged.
Village Hall/Early Park Closures:
