There’s no better place to celebrate America’s birthday than in the Nation’s Oldest City. With historic charm, waterfront views, and a night sky bursting with color, St. Augustine’s Fireworks Over the Matanzas is a must-experience summer tradition for locals and visitors alike.

This year, it’s more than just fireworks—2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and St. Augustine is the perfect place to reflect on our country’s journey. Soak up the sunshine, explore cobblestone streets rich with history, and end the evening with a breathtaking fireworks display over Matanzas Bay.

Join us for an unforgettable Fourth of July as we honor 250 years of American independence—right here on Florida’s Historic Coast.
