Downtown Lake Worth will be exploding with activity during the entire Fourth of July. From the early morning raft races to the end of the day Fireworks, Lake Worth will become the epicenter of the best holiday celebrations the region has to offer. Lake Worth’s 4th of July represents an Old Fashioned Family Fun Event.
The day begins at 11 A.M with the Great American Raft Race at the Bryant Park boat ramp. Unique to Lake Worth, this Raft Race is a long standing tradition organized by the Bryant Park Neighborhood Association. Neighborhood Associations and individuals create a flotilla of the most outlandish vessels afloat, filled with the weirdest consumed revelers competing for the sheer lunacy of effect. What ever floats their boats? To participate contact Herman Robinson, 561-352-4252.
Downtown Lake Worth explodes with a full day of family fun. The Explosion starts 12PM and goes all day until 6PM. Every block in town will host concerts, contests, games and food. Every shop, restaurant and gallery will hold patriotic sales, sponsor contests, sell holiday food and treats and prepare holiday concoctions.
Restaurants will move their grills to the sidewalk roasting ears of corn and barbequing hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken and other holiday treats. Your local restaurants become your food vendors for this holiday coming up with special treats as you walk the streets.
Merchants will set up stands on the sidewalk with a wide variety of items guaranteed to tantalize 4th of July revelers as they wander from store to store during this day long celebration. All Lake Worth merchants have been invited to display their wares on Lake and Lucerne Avenues and the side streets as well as in their own establishments. Many holiday surprises are in the making.
Vendors and Street Performers will display their wares and romp through the streets enticing children and adults alike with a small town carnival atmosphere of village towns of yesteryear.
Concerts and Musical presentations will take on stages and up and down the streets during this daylong celebration. Troubadours will wander, Steel Drums will ring, Barbershop quartets will harmonize and bands will rock out as visitors dance in the off-streets to the different beats. The Cultural Plaza will be filled with music, food and vendors.
Contests will take place throughout the day judged by a much esteemed band of local celebrities and renowned chefs. Watermelon eaters, loosen your belts. Water balloon tossers, warm up your pitching arms. Pie bakers, pre-heat your ovens. Hat designers, get your red, white and blue feathers out. Costume makers, rev up your sewing machines. There will be contests for all of you.
Fire on the Water, the big 4th of July picnic in Bryant Park will feature music, vendors and BBQ. Families can spread their blankets for a fun day on the water; wander into town for contests and shopping sprees, and then back again at the end of the day for Lake Worth’s spectacular Fireworks Extravaganza. Blankets in the park will be the best way to view fireworks as they explode over the water.
Detailed description of all events will follow in ensuing press releases.
