The Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island is gearing up for a grand two-day Independence Day celebration, featuring live music, fireworks, and family-friendly activities on July 3 and 4, 2024.

The festivities will commence on Wednesday, July 3, with an evening of entertainment and pyrotechnics. From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., visitors can enjoy live music by The Geminis.

  • The highlight of the night will be a spectacular fireworks display lighting up the sky over Okaloosa Island at 9 p.m., offering an early start to the Independence Day celebrations.

On Thursday, July 4, the Boardwalk will transform into a Luau Beach Party from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event will feature Jody Lucas, known for his unique blend of Classic Southern Rock with a touch of country. Lucas will perform throughout the evening, providing a soundtrack to the Independence Day festivities.

Adding to the Fourth of July excitement, Luminary Entertainment’s Fire Dancers will present a special performance. These skilled artists will showcase their talents while dressed in patriotic costumes, promising a visually stunning display for attendees.

  • In the spirit of the holiday, the Boardwalk will distribute complimentary patriotic-themed leis to all guests. The red, white, blue, and star-spangled leis will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of one per person.

The Luau Beach Party will also include a variety of activities for all ages. Children can participate in a kids’ limbo contest and a “Pass the Pineapple” game. Adults won’t be left out of the fun, with their own limbo contest scheduled as part of the evening’s entertainment.

Get there early to secure the best spot and enjoy all that The Boardwalk has to offer. This family-friendly event promises to be a memorable celebration for all ages.
