Get ready to show your red, white, and blue spirit at the United Flagler 4th Community Celebration, happening Friday, July 4, 2025! The City of Palm Coast, along with Flagler County Government and the cities of Flagler Beach and Bunnell, invites you and your family to join us for a full day of patriotic fun.
We’ll kick off the day with the always-popular Stars and Stripes Parade, proudly hosted by the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach. The parade starts at 9:00 a.m. and will follow its familiar route along A1A from North 6th Street to South 6th Street in Flagler Beach. After the parade, you can soak up the sun and enjoy live music and entertainment at Veterans Park while spending time with your neighbors and visitors from across the county.
Later in the day, head over to the Flagler Executive Airport for the show-stopping Fireworks Over the Runways celebration. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., and the fireworks will begin promptly at 9:00 p.m. Due to anticipated traffic, we encourage you to arrive no later than 8:00 p.m. Parking, including handicap-accessible spaces, will be available on the south side of the airport, accessible from Fin Way off South Belle Terre Boulevard. Please note that there will be no access through the front of the airport and no parking at Flagler Palm Coast High School.
The airport celebration will feature a wide variety of food vendors, a beer garden, kids’ activities, and a live DJ keeping the energy going throughout the evening. At 6:30 p.m., local dignitaries and elected officials will take the stage to recite the Declaration of Independence, followed by a powerful performance of the National Anthem by the talented Melanie DiMartino. Lawn chairs are welcome, and you’ll find plenty of space to relax and enjoy the show. Portable restrooms and handwashing stations will be available on-site for your convenience.
This entire event is free — there’s no cost for parking, entry, or participation. Just bring your patriotic pride and your love for the community. To keep the event safe and family-friendly, please remember that glass bottles are not allowed. The airport will remain operational throughout the day, with a temporary closure during the fireworks show. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, the Palm Coast Public Works Department, and Flagler County Assist volunteers will be on-site to manage traffic flow, crosswalks, and parking.
We encourage everyone to carpool if possible to help reduce traffic and ensure everyone can join in the fun. For full event details and updates, visit UnitedFlagler4th.com or check the City of Palm Coast’s digital channels. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
