Back for 2009 and bigger than ever, downtown St. Petersburg comes alive for the 4th of July with a spectacular evening of live music, tasty food, family fun - and of course - FIREWORKS!
Straub Park is the place to be if you enjoy live music - with the sounds of national country artists throught the evening. The must starts at 5:30PM with Suite Caroline; Due West takes the stage at 6:45PM; and our headliner, Krista Marie, plays at 8PM. http://www.us1035.com/common/celebrate/
Be sure to bring the family. The festival grounds are alcohol-free, plus both you and the kids will love playing dozens family friendly games and activities around the park. Don't worry about going hungry either, food vendors will have a large variety of snacks and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy.
Then, look to the skies over Tampa Bay starting at 9:00PM as Tampa Bay's largest Fireworks display lights upthe summer sky. 30 minutes worth of fireworks, choreographed beautifuly to patriotic music - it's the perfect ending to a perfect lazy summer day.
The fun's not just limited to land- The Pier will be open with more great activities, live music, and a great view of the 9PM fireworks show!
