Fireworks at the Fountain at
Lake Eola Park is a family event that celebrates Independence day with food, fireworks and fun for everyone. The event lasts the entire afternoon and into the night with various games and entertainment throughout the afternoon and early evening in the children's entertainment area, culminating in an amazing and impressive traditional fireworks display that will light up the sky. This free celebration at
Lake Eola Park is hosted by the City of Orlando and provides a full half day of outdoor happenings for people of all ages. These events include an outdoor music area, games for the whole family as well as different types of food offered throughout the park. Families can even picnic in the park as part of the outing and everyone is encouraged to participate in the events that make up this traditional Independence Day celebration. Of course the regular ongoing activities at
Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando are still available during the event. They include the gondola cruises, paddle boat rentals for the lake, as well as just walking around the 43 acres that comprise the park and enjoying the fountains and natural beauty of the area. Visitors can attend some or all of the activities and can even show up later, just for the fireworks display. The highlight of the day is most definitely the amazing and famous fireworks display, which lights up the sky over the downtown Orlando area. The firework display traditionally is kicked off by a speech from the Mayor as well as a musical presentation by the Orlando Concert Band.
