The City of Alachua will hold its annual Fourth of July Celebration on July 4, 2012 at the Hal Brady Recreation Complex. The event will begin at 3 p.m. and last through 10 p.m., with fireworks at 9:30. Please check back to this website as more information will be posted as it becomes available.
The City of Alachua has dubbed its celebration "The Largest Small Town Fireworks Display in America." The annual event draws over 30,000 people to Alachua and has great economic impact on businesses in our area. There are dozens of activities for the kids, including a petting zoo, bounce houses and water slides. This year kids can also take advantage of the spray park and skateboard park located on site. For the adult audience there are several unique vendors, bingo contests, dancing groups and live musical entertainment to name a few. Without a doubt the event has something for everyone and of course the hottest fireworks around.
The City is accepting Vendor Applications on a first-come, first-served basis.
IMPORTANT: The City recently expended nearly $100,000 to pave the parking lot of the Hal Brady Recreation Complex (where the vendors are located). Therefore, please prepare appropriately to secure tents and other items without the use of stakes or any other object that would damage the new pavement. Perhaps the use of cement-filled buckets or other similar objects would be just as effective. Also, be careful when placing or moving equipment on pavement.
