Fireworks will once again light up the skies over Miami Beach this July 4 following a full day of entertainment at the city’s annual Fire on the Fourth celebration in North Beach. With a dedicated Family Zone supported by T-Mobile, this outdoor festival marks the nation's 246th birthday.
Fire on the Fourth kicks off at noon on Monday, July 4, 2022 at 73 Street and Collins Avenue with numerous activities and events planned for the sand bowl behind the Miami Beach Bandshell. Entertainment continues throughout the day as the bandshell itself is transformed into an outdoor roller disco. Fire on the Fourth culminates with a drone show and fireworks display at 9 p.m.
|

This year’s event features food trucks, a Family Zone sponsored by T-Mobile (don’t forget your bathing suit), circus performers, music acts and even a magician. There will be plenty of photo opportunities so charge your phone before you arrive and say, “Miami Beach.”
Performances throughout the day include Camie Liz, Bootleg, Jam with Jamie, Amazing Animals, The Dangerfun Show, The Incredible Ian, DJ Ivan and The Miami Beats, which takes the stage at 8:20 p.m. and continues performing through the fireworks.
Inside the bandshell, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. you can bop to the beat of Bandshell DJ Allstars while showing off your best skate moves. The pros from the Roller Skate Vibes community will be on hand to liven the party with some moves of their own.

Sargassum (Seaweed)
Have you noticed additional brown seaweed along our beaches recently? This is referred to as sargassum.
This seaweed, which is abundant this time of year in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, is not dangerous, but can cause skin irritation from the tiny sea creatures that live in it. While this is a natural occurrence, the city is working with the county to do everything possible to minimize the inconvenience to our residents and visitors.
The highest concentrations of sargassum are found in Miami Beach between March and October. Please note, to protect nesting and hatchling sea turtles our team takes extra precautions prior to any heavy equipment being operated on the beach since sea turtle season runs concurrently with the influx of sargassum.

Drain and Cover
To prevent the bite and spread of disease by mosquitoes, remember to drain and cover.
- Flush water from water-bearing plants so they don't become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Disposing of excess water at least once a week disrupts the mosquitoes' life cycle, preventing mosquito egg deposits and killing existing larvae in the process.
- Survey your garden and backyard, checking landscaping for current and future locations of standing water. Mosquitoes need as little as a bottle cap of water to reproduce, so every little bit counts.
- Eliminate all sources of standing water by emptying potential water-holding yard items, including pots, buckets and wheelbarrows weekly. Make sure to drain items more frequently following rainfall.
