Downtown Panama City comes together once again to celebrate the birth of our Great Nation on Monday, July 4th!
This free family-friendly event is open to the public.
2:00pm – Our Salute to Freedom Festival(opens in a new tab) kicks off with vendors, food trucks, a DJ, bounce house, water activities, and lawn games at the Destination Panama City Visitor’s Center Bayside Stage at 101 W. Beach Drive. There is something for everyone!
3:00pm – Flip Flop Republic(opens in a new tab) takes the stage as you continue to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of freedom, with plenty to eat and plenty to peruse.
5:00pm – A delightful downtown Panama City parade will start at 8th Street heading south on Harrison Avenue, right (west) on 4th St., and ending at Oak Ave. The fun continues at the Destination Panama City Visitor’s Center Bayside Stage where Sons of Saints(opens in a new tab) will be jammin’ with all your high energy favorites.
7:30pm – Headliner, Dozzi(opens in a new tab), a dynamic trio of Australian sisters, is unlike any other girl group on the country music scene. Having performed in Nashville at popular venues such as Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row and Blake Shelton’s Ole Red, the two-time People’s Choice Award winners are sure to light up the stage as we wait for fireworks to light up the sky.
9:30pm – Settle in on your picnic blanket or chairs on the Visitors Center #LovePC Lawn for the best view in town during our spectacular fireworks display sprawling across the beautiful St. Andrews Bay.
