Celebrate America
Applications ~ Sponsors ~ Photo Gallery ~ Home
Celebrate America has been a Tallahassee Fourth of July tradition since 1985 and has grown from a small home-town celebration to become one of Tallahassee’s top four major events. The event’s main purpose is to bring together friends, families and visitors to enjoy an afternoon filled with fun, friendship, family, food and fireworks! Annually, thousands upon thousands of people flock to Tom Brown Park to enjoy a free concert and fireworks show to celebrate Independence Day. Get ready to enjoy all the festivities at Tom Brown Park on Wednesday, July 4, 2012.
Be a part of this event!
Applications are now available!
Celebrate America is a fun-filled event for the entire family. The event features a Naturalization Ceremony, two stages of live entertainment, a children’s area with pony rides, water slides and bounce houses and a hands-on activity area. There will also be plenty of food vendors, arts/crafts vendors and exhibitors. This year’s headline act is the world renowned FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS featuring KIM WILSON.
The evening will come to a close with the breathtaking “Sky Concert” fireworks display, powered by the City of Tallahassee Your Own Utilities, featuring some of the industry’s latest pyrotechnics. Celebrate America’s “Sky Concert” is one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in the region, drawing people from South Georgia and from all directions of the Florida panhandle. Special thanks to East Coast Pyrotechnics for putting together this beautiful display!
