The Memorial Day fireworks show is scheduled for Sunday, May 25, at 9 p.m., illuminating the night sky over the Emerald Coast shoreline. The display is visible from The Boardwalk area and surrounding beaches.

Following the holiday weekend, The Boardwalk will begin hosting its “Aloha! Luau Beach Party” every Thursday from June 5 through August 7. The weekly events run from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The luaus will feature several attractions including fire dancers, live music, free Hawaiian leis, kid activities and games. The events are presented by Al’s Beach Club Burger Bar at The Boardwalk.
